§ 74. Mr. STEPHENasked the Minister of Labour if he intends to introduce legislation based on the Blanesburgh Unemployment Insurance Report this Session; and, if so, whether he has decided to accept all the findings of the Report?
§ Mr. BETTERTONI cannot yet add anything to the reply which I gave on 2nd May, to the hon. Member for Leith (Mr. E. Brown), of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
§ Mr. STEPHENCan the hon. Gentleman not tell us whether the Government have decided to accept all the findings of the Report, or only part of the findings?
§ Mr. BETTERTONThe hon. Member must wait for the introduction of the Bill, and he can then see for himself how far the recommendations are being carried out. [The Bill certainly will be Cased on the Report].
§ Mr. STEPHENCan the hon. Gentleman tell us if the Bill will be brought in before August?
§ Mr. BETTERTONIf the hon. Gentleman repeats that question next week, I hope then to be able to give him a definite answer.
