HC Deb 28 October 1937 vol 328 c227
48. Mr. Day

asked the Prime Minister what steps he has taken during the Recess for the purpose of mitigating unemployment?

Sir J. Simon

The policy of the Government is constantly directed to securing increased employment. Its success is demonstrated by the employment statistics which in September last showed a total nearly 500,000 more than in September of last year.

Mr. Day

In view of the great number of unemployed at the present time, is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied with what has been done during the Vacation?
