HC Deb 05 March 1935 vol 298 c1726
36. Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in the proposed Bill to extend unemployment insurance to agricultural workers, private gardeners are to be included or excluded; and whether he will state the reasons for the decision?

Mr. STANLEY

I cannot at present add anything to the reply which I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for the Isle of Wight (Captain P. Macdonald) on the 7th February, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member.

Mr. DAVIES

May I ask whether the right hon. Gentleman will be able, at a given date, say, three weeks or a month hence, to give us more information on this important subject?

Mr. STANLEY

I shall be able at a given date, but I cannot give the date to-day.
