KENNEDYasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the court of referees recently disqualified a young woman at Reading for the receipt of unemployment benefit on account of her inability to accept the offer of work in a canteen at Aldershot; if he is aware that the woman in question stated as her reason for desiring employment in the Beading district that she was the guardian of her aged mother and an invalid sister; if he is aware that, while she was neither pressed to accept work at Aldershot nor refused to do so, her representations were regarded as reasons for disqualifying her for a period of six weeks; and if the case can be reconsidered and benefit allowed?
