THE UNEMPLOYED.
PROBLEM IN BRITAIN. POLICY OF GOVERNMENT. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, May 21. The attack on Mr Shaw (Minister for Labour) on the subject of his Unemployment Insurance Bill opened in the House of Commons to-day with a number of questions demanding what the Government had done to deal with unemployment. Mr. Shaw said the unemployment exchangee for the vear ending April 7, 1924, had filled 962.063 vacancies in Britain (Ministerial cheers), a great many more than before the Government took office.
Replying on the supplementary estimates, Mr. Shaw said members opposite would have a better opportunity of scolding him to-morrow, when he would show that the phenomenal decrease in unemployment was directly due to the Government’s policy (cheers and counter cheers).
