HC Deb 23 July 1923 vol 167 cc42-3W
Mr. D. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Labour if, in view of the pessi- mistic reports on the trade outlook, he anticipates that the funds at the disposal of the National Unemployment Insurance Fund will be sufficient to meet all requirements prior to the re-assembling of Parliament in the late autumn?

Mr. BETTERTON

Yes, Sir; I anticipate that the funds will be fully sufficient to provide all the benefit payable during the period mentioned.
