HC Deb 10 June 1937 vol 324 cc1932-3
13. Mr. Ammon

asked the Minister of Labour the conditions under which taximeter-cab drivers in training learning London are entitled to draw benefit at the Employment Exchanges?

Mr. Butler

The chief requirements are that the applicant shall be unemployed and available for work. Whether a particular applicant fulfils the conditions is a matter for determination by the independent statutory authorities. I may add that my right hon. Friend is making inquiries into the case referred to in the hon. Member's question of 3rd June and will write to him in the course of the next few days.
