Mr. GAVAN-DUFFYasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the unemployment benefit of Joseph Hornby has been disallowed owing to the fact that on the 4th April, in company with other members of the Egremont fire brigade, of which he has been 16 years a member, he helped to extinguish a fire which had taken hold of a private dwelling, and far which service he received the usual gratuity of 5s.; that because of this his benefit has been disallowed; and will he inquire into this matter?
Mr. STEWARTMy right hon. Friend is having inquiry made, and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
§ Mr. GAVAN-DUFFYIn view of that reply, I beg to give notice that I shall repeat this question next Monday.
