§ 37. Mr. MANDERasked the Minister of Health what steps are take by his department to ensure that, in the administration of test work, care should be taken that other men are not thereby deprived of regular work and that the grant made bears some reasonable relation to the standard rate of wages for such work?
Sir H. YOUNGI make it a condition of my approval that test work shall not be of such a nature as to displace regular wage-earners. The mount of relief paid in any case is governed by the needs of the applicant's household, and bears no necessary relation to the rates of wages paid for ordinary employment.
§ Mr. MANDERIf I bring a complaint which I have received on this point before the right hon. Gentleman, will he be good enough to give it careful consideration?
Sir H. YOUNGCertainly. I will give careful consideration to any such matter the hon. Member brings to my attention.
