EXTENSIONS OF INSURANCE
SCHEME DISCUSSED IN
HOUSE OF COMMONS
Over 1,700,000 Registered Unemployed
On April 4t
LONDON, MAY 17, VOTES FOR THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR and the Unemployment Assistance Board were dis- cussed in the Committee of Supply in the House of Commons this afternoon.
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour, in reviewing the various aspects of the Ministry's and Board's work, stated the 2,500,000 men and women were placed in employment through labour exchanges last year.
Dealing with industrial transference, Mr. Lennox-Boyd said that last year 17,500 men. 6,500 wo "men and about 7,000 families were transferred-a high proportion front specially depressed areas.
THE MINISTER ALSO REFERRED to the extensions of the unemployment Insurance scheme which took place during the year. One hundred thousand private gardeners were added to the agricultural scheme. Since last year a further 50,000 chauffeurs and 170,000 institutional workers, as well as 30,000 gamekeepers, stablemen and kindred employees, have been brought within the unemployment insur
ance.
Whereas ten years ago the number of people enjoying benefits of the unemployment insurance were 12,500,000, the figure today was 15,000,000. It was unhappily true that on April 4, the number of registered unemployed was as high as 1,748.000. But of those, about 38,000 were temporarily laid off and it was reasonable to assume a large proportion were expecting early resumption of work,
