§ 17. Mr. LAWSONasked the Minister of Labour whether he has considered two proposals put before his Department by the Unemployment Insurance Board under the special scheme for a revision of the method of electing employers' representatives to that board; whether, as these two proposals would enable purely commercial insurance undertakings to exclude from a seat on the board any representative of such bodies as friendly societies and trade unions, he will give preference to the earlier proposal of the chairman of the board, which secures representation to all types of organisations; and whether he will decline to sanction any proposal which is unjust to any particular type of employers' organisation?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. R. S. Hudson)Only one proposal on this subject has been submitted to my right hon. Friend by the Insurance. Unemployment Board. In accordance with the usual practice notice of such a. proposal will be advertised and my right hon. Friend before coming to a decision will give careful consideration to any objections made by interested parties.
