§ 5. Mr. ROSBOTHAMasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that among the unemployed there are a number of men who have a knowledge of the cultivation of the land; and will he consider the advisability of having a census taken through the Employment Exchanges of those men who are willing to become occupiers of small holdings under a land settlement scheme?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. I will give careful consideration to the suggestion put forward by my hon. Friend in the last part of his Question.
§ Sir FRANCIS ACLANDAlthough the Government are not able to help a great deal with small holdings, have not they announced that this year they are going to assist the scheme for helping unemployed men to work on their allotments?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONWhatever the Government said, the Government will stick to.
§ Sir F. ACLANDI was only trying to bring out the fact that the Government are helping the allotment scheme.
