HC Deb 02 April 1936 vol 310 cc2098-9
6. Miss WILKINSON

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Army reservists in the Jarrow-Hebburn area have 29s. deducted from their unemployment allowance the week they receive their quarter's Army reserve allowance; and whether he can make regulations to prevent this?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Members for Blaydon (Mr. Whiteley) and Aberdeen North (Mr. Garro-Jones) on 26th March, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.

Miss WILKINSON

Have the Government considered whether this practice is likely to help recruiting?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

That is a question which should be addressed elsewhere.
