§ 28. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Labour the total amount of money obtained at Employment Exchanges by false pretences, or by means of fraudulent statements, which resulted in action being taken in Police Courts, during the years 1921, 1922, 1923, and 1924, respectively?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDI regret that the information is not available, except at so much cost that I do not feel I should be justified in incurring it.
§ Colonel DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether there is a great many cases, and whether there is a lot of money involved?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDThe amount of money is comparatively small.
§ Mr. MACLEANIs it not the case that the money is taken back from the unemployed men before they have further benefit?
