§ 12. Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Minister of Labour the average amount per applicant for benefit paid by the Unemployment Assistance Board for each area covered by that Board?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADI regret that these statistics are not available.
§ Mr. DAVIESIn view of the fact that the allegation is made that the average receipt of money from this Board in Lancashire is lower than elsewhere, will the hon. Gentleman get the figures out?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADIt is not very easy to get the figures out, because the money is paid through the exchanges, and the exchange districts overlap the areas covered by the Board.
