§ 72. Brigadier-General CROFTasked the Minister of Labour whether aliens residing in this country receive unemployed donations?
§ Sir R. HORNEAliens (other than British-born wives of aliens) are not eligible for out-of-work donation unless they are entitled to claim it on the ground of service with His Majesty's Forces.
Sir H. DALZIELWho is the authority superintending the expenditure of this money? Is he aware that there is a very general public opinion that there is a scandal going on in regard to these donations?
§ Sir R. HORNEI am afraid I am the authority, and I am quite aware of the amount of trouble there is in connection with it.
Sir H. DALZIELWill my right hon. Friend undertake to have a few hours' discussion on it before the House adjourns for Easter?
§ Sir R. HORNEI am afraid that is not in my hands.
Sir H. DALZIELWill the right hon. Gentleman represent the view put forward to the Leader of the House, and try to press the matter on him?
