HC Deb 10 May 1922 vol 153 c2175
31. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked the Minister of Labour the average sum per week which is being paid in unemployment benefit to women suitable for domestic service who do not accept situations when offered them?

Dr. MACNAMARA

A woman who is suitable for and refuses domestic service would not be granted unemployment benefit. On a good many occasions claims to benefit have been rejected on this ground.
