HC Deb 01 June 1933 vol 278 cc2038-9
6. Mr. CROOKE

asked the Minister of Labour if, in the new Unemployment Insurance Bill, he will consider the advisability of allowing applicants appearing, before the court of referees (should they so desire) to be represented or accompanied by a solicitor where the chairman' of the court is a solicitor?

Mr. HUDSON

I would remind my hon. Friend that the unanimous view of the recent Royal Commission on Unemployment Insurance and of the Morris Committee in 1929 was against a change in the direction he suggests.
