HC Deb 22 February 1934 vol 286 c481
8 and 9. Mr. BATEY

asked the Minister of Labour (1) whether in the Unemployment Bill it is intended that caretakers of schools and caretakers of clubs shall be insurable who, previous to accepting those positions, were members of the Unemployment Insurance Fund;

(2) whether, in the Unemployment Bill, it is intended that superintendents and attendants at pit-head baths and attendants at welfare grounds shall be insurable who, before accepting those positions, were members of the Unemployment Insurance Fund?

Mr. HUDSON

It is intended that Regulations under Clause 2 of the Unemployment Bill shall deal with various classes of border-line cases. I cannot at this stage say precisely what those classes will be, but my right hon. Friend has noted for consideration in due course, the cases mentioned in these two questions.

Mr. LAWSON

Will the hon. Member also look into the position of the welfare attendants?

Mr. HUDSON

Those are probably included in the answer to Question No. 9.
