§ 41. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Minister of Labour if unemployed miners and building trade and shipbuilding trade workers are in any way affected by the regulations arising out of the Unemployment Insurance (No. 3) Act, dealing with seasonal workers or persons who habitually work for less than a full week?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONGenerally speaking the answer is in the negative, but I cannot yet say what special cases may be brought to light by the application of the regulations.
§ 42. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Minister of Labour if he can state the trades or occupations, respectively, of the classes of persons who habitually work for less than a full week; seasonal workers; persons whose normal employment is not more than two days in the week; and where cases have been reviewed under the regulation arising from the Unemployment Insurance (No. 3) Act, 1931?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONAs regards the first three parts of this question, there is no comprehensive information available, but the hon. Member will find on page 38 and the following pages of the First Report of the Royal Commission an indication of the persons they had in mind. With regard to the last part of the question the available statistics do not distinguish between the trades and occupations of the persons concerned.
