HC Deb 13 July 1933 vol 280 c1221
7. Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has considered the communication recently sent to him from the National Union of Agricultural Workers with regard to the position of Agricultural workers and Unemployment Insurance; and will he state the nature of any reply that has been sent to them?

Sir H. BETTERTON

I have had a letter from the National Union of Agricultural Workers in which they ask me to receive a deputation on this subject. I hope to be able to receive this deputation within the next two or three weeks, and am writing to the National Union to this effect.

Mr. THORNE

Will this be one of the questions that the Cabinet will consider between now and the publication of the Unemployment Insurance Bill next year?

Sir H. BETTERTON

That is one of the questions which will be considered.

Forward to
