§ 15. Mr. LEWISasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that Mr. W. E. Mole, of 5, Coastguard Cottages, West Mersea, Essex, has been refused unemployment benefit on the ground that his employers omitted to fix stamps to his card despite the fact that on representations by one of the Ministry's inspectors the missing stamps were subsequently affixed; and if he will state on what grounds this man is deprived of unemployment benefit which he would have received had the stamps been affixed at the proper time, despite the fact that he is not in any way to blame for the delay in the affixing of the stamps and despite the fact that the stamps have now been affixed?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI am having inquiries made and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
