HC Deb 14 June 1928 vol 218 c1171
70. Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Secretary- of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the Govan Parish Council and the Govan Employment Exchange have an arrangement between them that an unemployed man or woman in receipt of parish council relief must have a card stamped once each week by the local exchange; and whether he can state the number of people who have had part of their relief stopped because their cards have not been stamped by the exchange officials during March, April, and May, 1928?

The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part I am informed that no persons have had their relief stopped or reduced for the sole reason that their cards were not stamped by the Employment Exchange officials.

Mr. MACLEAN

If I send the right hon. Gentleman some particulars of individuals who have had their money stopped, will he go into the matter?

Sir J. GILMOUR

If the hon. Member furnishes the information, I will inquire into it.
