§ Mr. GRENFELLasked the Minister of Labour whether he will state the aggregate amount of additional allowances paid in the period of the standstill agreement to raise the determination under the suspended scales and regulations to the standard payable as transitional payments in all such cases, with the figures for the whole country and for the counties of Monmouth, Glamorgan and Carmarthen, respectively?
§ Mr. E. BROWNThe accounts of the Unemployment Fund are not kept to show separately the cost of supplementary allowances under the Temporary Provisions Act, and the total amount paid since the Act came into operation cannot, therefore, be given. A special analysis made in the week ended 26th June 1936, showed that in that week the cost was at approximately the following annual rates:
£ Great Britain 4,700,000 Counties of: Monmouth 180,000 Glamorgan 730,000 Carmarthen 35,000
