HC Deb 19 February 1931 vol 248 c1476W
Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Minister of Labour whether she will institute an inquiry into the average weekly and annual earnings of persons drawing unemployment insurance benefit in respect of organised short-time?

Miss BONDFIELD

I have no power to require either the workers concerned, or their employers, to furnish the particulars that would be necessary for the purpose of such an inquiry.
