HC Deb 07 March 1933 vol 275 c1002W
Mr. COCKS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can give an estimate of the loss in national income and national wealth in 1932 due to the number of people who were unable in that year to find employment in productive industry?

Mr. RUNCIMAN:

I am afraid that it is quite impossible with the material available to furnish any such estimates.
