HC Deb 18 March 1935 vol 299 cc811-2
34. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether any arrangements will be made by him to provide special facilities for disabled ex-service men to watch the processions in connection with the forthcoming Jubilee?

The FIRST COMMISSIONER of WORKS (Mr. Ormsby-Gore)

I am consulting the Commissioner of Police with a view to providing certain special facilities for disabled ex-Service men in a suitable position on the line of route.

39. Mr. CLEARY

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can now make a statement on the question of extra allowances during Jubilee week for those drawing unemployment insurance benefit, having in mind the fact that public assistance committees in many areas have decided to grant such extra allowances?

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

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend to the hon. Members for Aberdare (Mr. G. Hall) and the Scotland Division (Mr. Logan) on 26th February.

Mr. CLEARY

Can the Parliamentary Secretary say when it will be possible to make a statement on this question?

Mr. HUDSON

I do not think that there is any further statement to make beyond that given by my right hon. Friend.

Mr. LOGAN

Are we not to understand that further legislation is necessary; and is it not possible for legislation to be brought before the House? May we have an answer?
