§ 10. Mr. TINKERasked the Minister of Labour the number of cases of those who were struck off unemployment benefit under the term "not genuinely seeking work" who have applied to have their cases reconsidered under the amended Act of 1930; and is she in a position to say how many have been allowed for benefit?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThe number of such applications made by persons who had maintained registration was probably about 10,000. There is no means of telling how many other such applications were made, nor can I say in how many cases benefit was allowed.
§ Mr. TINKERIf I put a question down in a week or a fortnight, will the right hon. Lady be able to answer?
§ Miss BONDFIELDI am not sure that I shall. The working of the new Act may take some time.
