Travelling Expenses

Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE
asked the Minister of Labour the aggregate amount paid in travelling expenses to unemployed persons seeking work since the Unemployment Insurance (No. 2) Act, 1930, came into force; and the number of persons who have so benefited?

Miss BONDFIELD
The Act only came into operation on 13th March, 1930, and statistics in respect of this matter for the period since that date are not yet available.
