§ Mr. KIRKWOODasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is aware that there are thousands of unemployed persons in Scotland who cannot reasonably hope to find work again at their own trade; and what steps he is going to take to improve their position ?
§ Sir G. COLLINSThe policy of the Government is directed to restoring industrial activity in Scotland and elsewhere which is the only effectual way of finding work for the unemployed. I would add that my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour indicated in the Debate on 14th June the general lines of the proposals which the Government intend to introduce this Session with regard to those who remain unavoidably unemployed.
