HC Deb 05 March 1936 vol 309 cc1538-9
14. Mr. GALLAGHER

asked the Minister of Labour whether dependants' benefit will continue to be paid under the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1935, in respect of young persons who are children of unemployed workers and who obtain employment at the age of 14 but later become unemployed and return to an educational institution whilst still under the age of 16 years?

Mr. E. BROWN

The Unemployment Insurance Act provides for the payment of dependants' benefit in respect of a child between the ages of 14 and 16 years who is under full time instruction at a day school and I am not aware of any proposal to discontinue this provision.
