HC Deb 17 March 1920 vol 126 c2232W
Mr. CLOUGH

asked the Minister of Labour the official estimate of the increase of staff his Department necessary to administer the Unemployment Insurance Bill?

Sir R. HORNE

I am unable to frame an estimate until the House has decided upon the form in which the Bill will become law and until I am aware of the number and character of the industries for which special schemes will be established under the Bill. I may add that it is proposed that the administrative expenses of the new Act should be met from the income of the Unemployment Fund up to one-tenth of the income of that fund.
