§ 41. Mr. HAYESasked the Minister of Labour whether the Government proposes to embody all the recommendations of the Report of the Unemployment Insurance Committee in its Unemployment Insurance Bill; and when he proposes to introduce this Measure?
§ Mr. BETTERTONWith regard to the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on Monday to the hon. Member for the Gorbals Division (Mr. Buchanan). I cannot yet give a date for the introduction of the Unemployment Insurance Bill.
§ Mr. BOOTHBYMay I ask my hon. Friend whether, before any legislation is introduced, the Ministry will give special attention to the position of seasonal workers in certain classes of industry?
§ Mr. BETTERTONYes, Sir. That point, of course, is dealt with in the Report itself. The whole Report will be considered by my right hon. Friend.
