§ Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLEasked the Minister of Labour what would be the actuarial position of the unemployment insurance scheme on the present level of employment if there were brought into the scheme agriculture, domestic service, and all occupations of a manual character, in addition to those in which earnings of whatever kind do not exceed £250 a year?
§ Miss BONDFIELDAs there are no means of ascertaining the present level of unemployment in industries outside the insurance scheme, I am afraid it is not possible to estimate with any precision what the actuarial effect of including them would be.
