§ 8. Mr. ROLAND ROBINSONasked the Minister of Labour what number of insured persons in Great Britain is definitely regarded as seasonal workers; what number of these is regarded as being entitled to less than full insurance benefit rights; and what further steps he proposes to take to improve the insurance position of seasonal workers?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADAs regards the first two parts of the question I regret that no statistics are available. No changes in the regulations affecting seasonal workers under the general scheme are at present in contemplation.
§ Mr. ROBINSONWill the hon. and gallant Member consider whether some of the surplus of the Unemployment Insurance Fund cannot be used to improve the unfortunate position of seasonal workers?
