HC Deb 06 February 1930 vol 234 c2122W
Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

asked the Minister of Health whether, in order to ascertain the number of unemployed agricultural labourers, he will make inquiries from the different guardians in the rural districts as to the occupation of persons in receipt of Poor Law relief?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I do not think that the suggested inquiry would provide any reliable information. I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 3rd February by the Minister of Agriculture to the hon. Member for (South West Norfolk (Mr. W. Taylor).
