§ 55. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Minister of Labour the names of all the organisations from which he has received resolutions of protest against the administration of the Anomalies Act and asking for the repeal of that Act?
Mr. HUDSONI am afraid this information could not be got out without a laborious search through all the files.
§ Mr. BUCHANANIs it not a fact that certain Conservative associations, including the Conservative Association of Nelson, have asked for the repeal of the Act?
§ Mr. MAXTONAre protests coming to the hon. Gentleman's Department ignored completely?
§ 56. Mr. BUCHANANasked the Minister of Labour what proportion of the number of persons who have ceased to sign the register since October have gone off the register owing to the working of the Anomalies Act?
§ 59. Mr. THORNEasked the Minister of Labour how many cases under the Anomalies Act have been refused benefits by public assistance committees; and from how many of these committees he has received representations calling for the repeal of the Act?
Mr. HUDSONThe public assistance committees are not concerned with the Anomalies Act, and I am afraid I cannot understand the hon. Member's question. Perhaps he will be good enough to discuss it with me later.
