HC Deb 27 June 1933 vol 279 cc1320-1
28. Mr. MABANE

asked the Minister of Labour what is the average annual cost to his Department of an unemployed person over and above the amount provided by the Unemployment Fund?

Sir H. BETTERTON

I am not sure that I understand this question. If my hon. Friend wishes to know the cost of transitional payments, it was, including administrative expenses, about £48 10s. on the average for each claimant during 1932–33.
