§ 31. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Labour the reasons why Mrs. R. Price, 72, Aldred Road, S.E.17, Book No. Borough 144,840, was refused unemployment insurance benefit on the 26th March without being afforded an opportunity of appearing before the rota sub-committee, especially in view of the fact that, although she was told by the manageress of the Exchange that she would have to accept employment as a waitress, she was afterwards, on the 22nd March, informed by the order clerk at the said Exchange that no vacancies existed for such employment?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDI am having inquiries made, and will let the hon. Member know the result as soon as possible.
