§ 36. Mr. RAMSDEN (for Mr. ATKINSON)asked the Minister of Health (1) whether extended benefit continues to be paid to an unemployed man who refuses work on the land
(2) whether domestic servants employed in hotels open for part of the year are on ceasing to he so unemployed treated as entitled to benefit and extended benefit, although offered and declining private domestic employment?
§ Mr. BETTERTONI have been asked to reply.
