§ Mr. WHITELEYasked the Minister of Labour the amount per head of population distributed in 1924-1925 in Great Britain for unemployment benefit and uncovenanted unemployment benefit
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDThe amount of unemployment benefit (including both covenanted or standard and uncovenanted or extended benefit) paid during the financial year 1924-1926 was £40,962,000, and the estimated population of Great Britain in 1924 was 43,627,637. The amount of benefit for 1924-1925 per head of population was, therefore, about 18s. 9½d. Separate figures for the two classes of benefit are not available.
