HC Deb 20 March 1911 vol 23 c199W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the President of the Local Government Board for how many men and for what period the new work to be provided by the Central Body for London will find employment; and what is the amount expected to be paid in wages for such work?

Mr. BURNS

The new schemes of work recently submitted to me by the Central (Unemployed) Body for London were estimated to employ 440 men for four or five weeks. The cost of labour, including supervision and watching, was estimated at £2,297.
