§ 19. Mr. GRAHAM WHITEasked the Minister of Labour if he can now state when it is proposed to proceed with the Unemployment Insurance (No. 2) Bill?
§ Mr. SHAWI recognise the importance of proceeding with this Bill, but am afraid it will not be possible to fix a day next week.
§ Dr. MACNAMARAWill the right hon. Gentleman make representations to the Prime Minister as to the great desirability of getting this Bill into Committee as soon as possible, so as not to run us up to the time of the exhaustion of the existing benefit?
§ Mr. SHAWI have already made such representations and I am now in consultation with the Deputy-Leader of the House, who has promised to give the earliest possible day for the Bill.
