asked the Minister of Health if he will give particulars of the total amounts of the loans authorised in each case to the various boards of guardians in the United Kingdom for the purpose of meeting unemployment charges during the last two years, and the amount of the rates in each union borrowing?

I am sending the hon. Member a statement containing the particulars for which he asks so far as they relate to England and Wales. For particulars relating to other parts of the Kingdom I must refer the hon. Member to the appropriate Departments.
