HC Deb 01 October 1931 vol 257 c541W
Mr. WISE

asked the Minister of Labour at what dale the present borrowing powers of the Unemployment Insurance Fund would be exhausted on the assumptions that unemployment continues at its present level and that the measures proposed under the National Economy Bill were not yet in operation?

Sir H. BETTERTON

If unemployment continued at its present level and if no changes were made in the Unemployment Insurance scheme, the present borrowing powers of the Unemployment Fund would be exhausted by about the end of November next.
