HC Deb 17 March 1927 vol 203 c2222W
Mr. JOHNSTON

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Unemployment Grants Committee has made any grant towards the sewerage works relief scheme advanced by the Corporation of Edinburgh; and, if so, what is the extent of the grant and the numbers of men which it is estimated will be found employment by the scheme?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

The Unemployment Grants Committee have not recently promised a grant-in-aid of a sewerage scheme proposed by the Edinburgh Corporation. The last scheme of that character submitted by the Corporation was approved for grant in March, 1924, on condition that it was completed by March, 1926.
