HC Deb 11 March 1930 vol 236 c1133W
Mr. McSHANE

asked the Minister of Labour what was the total amount of unemployment benefit paid in respect of children of unemployed persons for the last year for which figures are available?

Mr. LAWSON

Separate figures are not kept of the amount of unemployment benefit paid in respect of dependent children. It is estimated, however, that the amount so paid during the year 1929 was about £2,750,000.
