§ 30. Sir P. Harris (for Mr. White)asked the Minister of Labour whether he is now in a position to state the intentions of His Majesty's Government with regard to the recommendations of the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee that the salary limit for unemployment insurance for non-manual workers should be raised from £250 to £400 per annum?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadNo, Sir. A decision on this matter has not yet been reached.
Miss RathboneCan the hon. and gallant Gentleman give any idea when a decision will be reached in view of the fact that it is now something like 18 months since the Statutory Committee reported?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MuirheadNo, I should not like to give an undertaking.
