HC Deb 16 March 1931 vol 249 c1685W
Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour the number of men who were employed in the Woolwich area at the last convenient date on State-aided schemes initiated by the Woolwich Borough Council; and the estimated duration of their employment?

Mr. LAWSON

The number of men employed on State-aided schemes in operation in the Woolwich area on 30th January was returned as 451. It is not practicable to make an estimate of the kind asked for in the second part of the question.
