HC Deb 05 February 1930 vol 234 c1913W
Mr. W. TAYLOR

asked the Minister of Transport the number of farm workers now unemployed on the arable farms in the counties of Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and Essex who have been given temporary work by the highway authorities in their respective areas?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

These details are not available, and I understand that they could only be obtained, if at all, at a considerable expenditure of time and labour. I hope, therefore, that my hon. Friend will not press for them.
