HC Deb 25 July 1922 vol 157 c228W
Mr. LYLE

asked the Minister of Labour if the Unemployment Grants Committee are adhering strictly, so far as their aid is concerned, to road construction and reconstruction, or whether they are open to consider other schemes of relief work, especially in industrial and populous districts, where the prescribed form of enterpise is too costly or restricted?

Sir A. MOND

The Unemployment Grants Committee consider any schemes for works of definite public utility, and a large number of schemes in addition to road works have, in fact, been passed by them for grant.
