64. Mr. SHINWELL

asked the Minister of Labour whether the draft regulations which provide for pit-head bath attendants to come into unemployment insurance will also apply to other persons employed at miners' welfare centres?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Lieut.-Colonel Muirhead)

No, Sir. The question of bringing other persons employed at miners' welfare centres within the scope of the Unemployment Insurance Scheme is at present under consideration. The duties of such persons are similar to those of persons employed in a variety of other undertakings, and the necessary inquiries have not yet been completed.
