HC Deb 05 June 1930 vol 239 cc2354-5
19. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Minister of Labour what advantage has been taken of the provision of the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1929, whereby the Acts can, in certain circumstances, be applied to employment abroad?

Miss BONDFIELD

I presume the hon. Member refers to Section 13 of the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1930. Regulations under this Section have been drafted and are under discussion with the interests concerned.

Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

Does the right hon. Lady think, in view of the increasingly congested state of the labour market here, that some acceleration in the direction she has mentioned might take place?

Miss BONDFIELD

I am afraid that under this Section it can never apply.
