§ 8. Mr. HICKSasked the Minister of Labour whether he is in a position to state the anticipated saving to the Un employment Insurance Fund consequent on the operation of Section 1 (1, b) of the Unemployment Insurance (National Economy (No. 2) Order, 1931, No. 853?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI am afraid I am not in a position to give any reliable estimate for the saving under Section 1 (1, b) of the Order taken separately.
§ Mr. HICKSIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that Section 1 (1, b) of the Unemployment Insurance (No. 2) Order, 1931, will deprive of benefit those workers who satisfy the first statutory condition, namely, those who have 30 or more stamps to their credit in the preceding two years, and who, under this Order, after 26 weeks' benefit in any one year, are not allowed again standard benefit until 10 additional stamps are affixed?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONThe hon. Gentleman has asked rather a complicated question, and I would like to see it on the Paper before giving a definite answer.
