HC Deb 23 April 1931 vol 251 c1122
3. Mr. OSWALD LEWIS

asked the Minister of Labour whether she proposes to take any steps to ensure that where a woman worker has regular week-end employment she shall not be granted unemployment benefit for those days in the week on which she has not normally been in the habit of working?

Miss BONDFIELD

The conditions for the receipt of benefit are laid down by Statute, and I have no power to alter them.

Sir HENRY BETTERTON

Is this question of part-time employment one of the questions now being considered by the Royal Commission?

Miss BONDFIELD

Yes.
