HC Deb 19 December 1934 vol 296 cc1151-2
66. Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in computing the allowance to be paid to families under the Unemployment Assistance Act Regulations, the cost of free milk supplied to mothers and children or the cost of school meals will be taken into account?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. R. S. Hudson)

I would refer the hon. Member to the statement made by my right hon. Friend on Monday last in regard to these points.

57. Dr. ADDISON

asked the Minister of Labour whether it will be open to the commissioners administering the Unemployment Assistance Act, 1934, in respect of persons now receiving assistance from public assistance committees and who may hereafter be dealt with by the commissioners, to require repayment of assistance granted as provided in Sections 49 to 51 of the Poor Law Act, 1930?

Mr. HUDSON

I am afraid I do not understand the meaning of the right hon. Gentleman's question; perhaps he will speak to me and put it down again. I may mention, however, that the Unemployment Assistance Board will have no power to give assistance on loan.
