HC Deb 18 June 1924 vol 174 cc2141-2W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can state the proposals now being considered by the Government for the relief of unemployment which may be regarded as specially applicable beneficially to the case of the unemployed in the engineering industry?

Mr. SHAW

A number of schemes assisted under the Trade Facilities Act or by the Unemployment Grants Committee involve the production of material which would provide work in the engineering trade. Other schemes, particularly in connection with electrical development, are under examination.
