HC Deb 09 May 1934 vol 289 c1092W
Mr. HOWARD

asked the Minister of Labour if he can give an estimate of the annual sum required in order to pay maintenance to all unemployed workpeople, whether at present covered by unemployment insurance or not, on a non-contributory basis, at the weekly rate of £1 per adult male, 10s. for dependent wives, and 5s. for each child of school age?

Mr. HUDSON

I would refer my hon. Friend to the figures given in the Government Actuary's Report printed as Appendix No. 1 to the Final Report of the Royal Commission on Unemployment Insurance.
