§ Sir G. PENNYasked the Minister of Labour how the difference of £26,000 arises in the total political fund income of registered trade unions and the contributions of members in 1929?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThe difference of £26,000 is accounted for in part by the inclusion in income for statistical purposes of £12,255 transferred from one union to another on amalgamation, in part by an item of £922 "Election expenses returned," and as to the balance almost exclusively by interest on invested funds.
