§ 69. Mr. WALLACEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether it is his intention 2164 to introduce legislation to place voluntarily insured persons on the same footing as persons compulsorily insured under the Unemployment Insurance Act so far as any deduction from income is made when parochial relief is granted?
§ Mr. MUNROThe answer is in the negative. I am, however, prepared to consider any arguments in favour of the course proposed which my hon. Friend may care to submit to me.
§ Mr. WALLACEDoes my right hon. Friend not think that there is a great anomaly here to which he ought to address his very acute mind at the earliest possible date?
§ Mr. MUNROI am prepared to address my mind, such as it is, to any arguments that my hon. Friend may submit to me. At present I have an open mind on the subject.
