HC Deb 14 March 1922 vol 151 cc1991-2W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in approving relief works for the benefit of the unemployed, he will consider the special suitability of restarting local undertakings which for some reason or other are not able to continue operations at the present moment, but whose existence is vital to the local communities; and whether he can state instances in which this policy, if approved, has been followed?

Sir A. MOND
