5. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will incorporate in the proposed White Paper the terms of the new Soviet decree relating to labour supplies in the Soviet Republic, and providing that persons leaving their employment without satisfactory cause are not to be given work for six months?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

Yes, Sir. The text of the decree is included in the White Paper, which will be available for Members this afternoon.

Colonel ASHLEY

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether those people who leave their work without sufficient cause get a dole?

Mr. THORNE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that if any employés in this country leave their work in an unsatisfactory way they get no unemployment pay?
