HC Deb 23 June 1932 vol 267 cc1266-7W
Mr. LAWSON

asked the Minister of Labour the weekly amount by which the expenditure of the Unemployment Insurance Fund exceeds the income?

Sir H. BETTERTON

Any deficiency of the Unemployment Fund on insurance account is now met by a grant from the Exchequer. For the current financial year to 18th June, 1932, the deficiency grant payable by the Exchequer is approximately £980,000, or between £80,000 and £90,000 per week.
