Mr. R. S. HUDSON

As the reply includes a number of figures, I will, if I may, circulate a statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the statement:

Numbers of men employed in London on schemes of work for which Government grants have been made:

31st March, 1928 … … 2,436
23rd March, 1929 … … 1,924

27th March, 1931 … … 3,565
18th March, 1932 … … 1,289

For 1928 and 1929 the figures are exclusive of certain schemes of a value of less than £10,000.
