HC Deb 23 July 1929 vol 230 cc1113-4W
Mr. MANDER

asked the Minister of Transport whether it is proposed to include in the Government schemes for finding work for the unemployed the extension of the Piccadilly railway to Manor House and Southgate, and the extension of the Highgate Tube to East Finchley; and the number of persons to whom employment would thereby be given?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

The Government do not propose to exclude from their consideration any useful scheme in regard to which assistance can be shown to be necessary. I have no information as to the number of men who would be employed on the particular projects to which the hon. Member refers.
