HC Deb 25 February 1937 vol 320 cc2155-6
10. Sir Nicholas Grattan-Doyle

asked the Minister of Labour whether in view of the improved state of the Unemployment Insurance Fund, he is in a position to announce a reduction of the six days waiting period?

22. Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Labour whether it is contemplated by the Government to distribute the surplus in the fund in increased benefits and to reduce the means test cases by increasing the period for which benefit is payable?

Mr. E. Brown

I dealt with these matters fully in the statement which I made on Tuesday last in reply to a question by the hon. Member for Chesterle-Street (Mr. Lawson).
