HC Deb 03 March 1926 vol 192 c1414
38. Mr. NAYLOR

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that officers of his Department are visiting employers in the London newspaper trade in order to obtain the private addresses of casual workers; and if he will state for what purpose the addresses are required and why they should be collected in this way?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

The inquiries to which the hon. Member refers are part of a check now being made on certain claims to benefit, on account of one or two cases recently discovered of men claiming benefit while working as printing machine attendants on night work.
