Loudon, April 7,
Tp the House of Commons Sir Henry Betterton, Minister of Labour, in answer to questions, said that. 1,220,000 men, women and children in England and Wales were at present receiving poor relief, compared with 1,005,000 at the end of September. Registered unemployed in Britain on March 31 numbered 2,581,000. The corresponding figure for France was 843,000, which, it was understood, represented only a small proportion of France’s unemployed.
