§ 35. Captain LOSEBYasked the Minister of Labour if unemployed women arc in many instances offered by Labour Exchanges work at low wages at a considerable distance from their homes involving high train fares; and if, on refusing it, they are disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits?
§ Mr. WARDLERefusal of work offered at an Exchange entails suspension of out-of-work donation if the work is adjudged by a court of referees to be suitable work; but the wages offered and the distance from the applicant's home are among the factors which the court would take into account before coming to a decision.
