HC Deb 30 July 1936 vol 315 cc1700-1
15. Mr. HUNTER

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee have yet reported on the question of unemployment insurance for private gardeners; and what action he proposes to take?

Mr. E. BROWN

Yes, Sir. I have received the committee's report and copies will be available in the Vote Office this evening. The committee recommend the inclusion of private gardeners under the scheme of unemployment insurance for agriculture, and I hope to be able to make a statement upon the subject when the House reassembles after the holidays.

Mr. HUNTER

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when it is likely to come into operation?

Mr. BROWN

I cannot say at the moment.
