HC Deb 28 August 1914 vol 66 c290W
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is prepared to finance proposals for the cultivation of vacant lots in towns and cities, to find employment for the workless, where these have been approved of by the Board of Agriculture or the Development Commissioners?

Mr. MONTAGU

The Government is at present considering the whole problem of unemployment arising out of the War, and I regret that I am not yet in a position to make any statement.
