asked the Minister of Labour whether, at the present time, there are any men employed on grant-aided schemes who have been transferred from depressed areas; and, if so, where these schemes are being carried out?

Sir H. BETTERTON

On 26th February, 1932, the latest date for which figures are available, 6,306 men transferred from the depressed areas were employed on one or other of between 300 and 400 grant-aided schemes. The majority of these schemes were in the South of England.
