The information in my possession does not enable me to state the total number of foreign Governments which have brought forward such measures, but in most of the prin- cipal overseas countries schemes of this kind have been adopted. The latest information on this subject, so far as available to my Department, has been summarised, for a number of the principal countries, in some of the recent issues of the "Ministry of Labour Gazette" under the heading "Unemployment Relief Measures in Oversea Countries." I am sending my hon. Friend copies of the issues for February, April, May and June of this year, and a further article will appear in the July issue.
