HC Deb 09 November 1936 vol 317 c475
Mr. A. BEVAN

I beg to present a humble Petition from unemployed marchers showing the grievous hardship which is being endured by great numbers of unemployed men and women by reason of their loss of physical well-being, the breaking up of many of their homes, the wretched condition of the villages and towns, and the harsh incidence of the family means test. Wherefore, your Petitioners pray that they, or some of their number, be heard at the Bar of the House as the representatives of the unemployed, to set forth their grievances and to urge, on behalf of the unemployed men and women, the provision of decent maintenance or employment at trade union rates of wages.

Forward to
