HC Deb 17 December 1929 vol 233 c1230W
Mr. MANSFIELD

asked the Lord Privy Seal the reason of the delay in replying to the Eston Urban District Council's request for a grant from the Unemployment Grants Committee towards their scheme of street reconstruction, seeing that there is a large number of unemployed in that area who are in urgent need of assistance?

Mr. THOMAS

I understand that the application from the Eston Urban District Council to the Unemployment Grants Committee was received by the Committee on 30th November last. It is being dealt with as quickly as possible.
