HC Deb 18 December 1935 vol 307 cc1774-5W
Mr. DAVID ADAMS

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has considered the recommendations of the conference on the 3rd instant at Newcastle, convened by the Lord Mayor, representative of all classes of citizens in the area, at which the Government were unanimously urged to grant State aid for works of economic importance, to lessen the burdens of unemployment; and, if so, what action is proposed in the matter?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

I have no doubt that when a copy of the recommendations made at the conference referred to are received by the Commissioner for the Special Areas, he will give immediate attention to any matters raised at the conference falling within his powers.
