HC Deb 31 March 1936 vol 310 c1812
30. Mr. DINGLE FOOT

asked the Minister of Labour when the report of the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee upon the remuneration limit for the insurance of non-manual workers will be published?

The MINISTER of LABOUR (Mr. Ernest Brown)

Copies of this report will be available in the Vote Office at six o'clock to-day. The Committee received evidence from a large number of associations and other interested parties, and after a very full investigation, the Committee have recommended that the present limiting rate of £250 per annum should be raised. The majority of the Committee (including the Chairman) suggest that the new limit should be £400 per annum.
