HC Deb 10 February 1932 vol 261 cc828-9
45. Mr. GORDON MACDONALD

asked the Prime Minister whether, seeing that the urgent need for national economy has ceased to be operative in the case of His Majesty's judges, he will take early steps to restore the benefits of the unemployed men, women and young persons?

Mr. BALDWIN

Without accepting the premise of the hon. Member's question, I would refer him to the answer which I gave on Monday to questions on this subject.

Mr. MACDONALD

Since the position of the unemployed is equally as bad as that of the Judges, ought they not to be treated with the same consideration?

Mr. BALDWIN

I do not accept the premise in the first part of the question.
