HC Deb 23 March 1936 vol 310 c871
39. Mr. BUCHANAN

asked the Minister of Labour when he will be in a position to introduce his proposals dealing with the Unemployment Insurance Regulations under Part II of the 1934 Act?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave on Thursday last to a similar question put by the hon. Member for Spennymoor (Mr. Batey), of which I am sending him a copy.

Mr. BUCHANAN

Does the hon. and gallant Gentleman really intend to be in a position ever to answer this question?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

Yes, Sir.

Mr. STEPHEN

Will the hon. and gallant Gentleman give us some indication when, so that we may put down another question?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

There is nothing to prevent hon. Members putting down questions whenever they wish.
