HC Deb 04 March 1930 vol 236 cc272-3W
Sir H. CAYZER

asked the Minister of Labour the number of persons who were refused unemployment benefit at the Portsmouth Employment Exchange on the ground of not genuinely seeking work for each month during 1929 and January, 1930?

Miss BONDFIELD

The following statement gives the information for which the hon. and gallant Member asks.

House on what date the White Paper dealing with unemployment, which was promised for the middle of February, will be published?

Mr. THOMAS

The White Paper will contain particulars of schemes approved up to the end of February, and will, I hope, be issued at the end of next week.
