HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 cc451-2
55. Mr. GAVAN DUFFY

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the uncovenanted benefit of L. R. Briggs, of 9, South Street, Egremont, Cumberland, has been suspended by the manager of the Cleator Moor Employment Exchange on the ground that he is residing with relatives to whom he can reasonably look for support; that the average earnings of this man's father are 30s. per week; that he has seven children and a wife dependent upon him; and that he has had nearly two years of unemployment; and, in view of the situation of his family, will he have Briggs's case reconsidered?

Sir M. BARLOW

I am having immediate inquiries made into this case and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
