HC Deb 21 July 1931 vol 255 cc1275-385

As amended, considered.

Mr. SPEAKER

I gave a Ruling the other day on an Instruction of which notice had been given by the hon. Member for East Leicester (Mr. Wise). I then said that no Amendments or new Clauses would be in order unless their object was to affect persons who are now entitled to benefit. I have some doubt in regard to the first of the new Clauses on the Order Paper to-day—[Conditions of benefit of workers held to be not unemployed on days for which they have received wages]. I understand that that Clause refers to persons who might be entitled to benefit at the present time under the Act of Parliament, but who, in the opinion of the umpire and according to awards which have been made, are not entitled to benefit. In the circumstances, I propose to call the Clause.
