HC Deb 29 February 1928 vol 214 c410
52. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Minister of Labour if he has yet come to any decision as to publishing a small booklet explaining the provisions of the new Insurance Act; and, if such decision is in favour of doing so, when it will be issued?

53. Mr. BLUNDELL

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is yet in a position to issue a summary of the Unemployment Insurance Acts?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

A summary of the Unemployment Insurance Acts has been prepared and is being issued as a Command Paper. Copies will, I understand, be available to-day at the Vote Office.

Mr. BUCHANAN

Is the Department making a charge for this booklet, or are they distributing it free to those who are occupying posts in the administration of the new Act?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I shall have to consider that point.

Mr. STEPHEN

Will the right hon. Gentleman place this booklet at the disposal of the people through the Employment Exchanges?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I have just said that I will consider that point.

Forward to
