HC Deb 13 May 1925 vol 183 cc1839-40
27. Mr. BENNETT

asked the Minister of Labour whether, under the Regulations, an unemployed worker is entitled to draw uncovenanted benefit, no matter how large the weekly income of his family through the working of other members and the letting of rooms?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

There is not at present any disqualification for benefit on the ground of the wages or income of other members of the applicant's family. The letting of rooms might be a ground for the disqualification of the applicant's wife for dependant's benefit, or, if the letting amounted to a business carried on by the applicant, it might be a disqualification of the applicant himself
