Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Minister of Labour the amount paid in covenanted and standard benefit and uncovenanted and extended benefit, respectively, from 11th November, 1918, to 13th November, 1926?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

The total amount of unemployment benefit paid from 11th November, 1918, to 13th November, 1926, was £275,157,000. I regret that I have no information which would enable me to divide this expenditure, as requested by the hon. Member.
