HC Deb 20 March 1930 vol 236 c2068
7. Brigadier-General MAKINS

asked the Minister of Labour the policy adopted by Employment Exchanges in respect of supplying labour to non-union works; whether workers are obliged to take up such employment if offered; and, if not, whether such employés are still regarded as genuinely seeking work?

Miss BONDFIELD

Any stipulations made by the employer in this matter are brought to the notice of any workman to whom the employment is offered, and if he then refuses it the question whether he remains entitled to unemployment benefit is one for decision by the statutory authorities.
