HC Deb 21 November 1927 vol 210 c1434W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Labour whether his Department has under consideration any schemes for the relief of unemployment in Devonport during the winter months?

Mr. BETTERTON

Schemes of work for the relief of persons unemployed are not promoted by my Department, but by the local authorities in the area concerned. I cannot find that local authorities in Devonport has submitted to the Unemployment Grants Committee any schemes for the winter of 1927–28.
