§ 4. Mr. Dayasked the Minister of Labour how many cases have occurred during the last two years in Great Britain in which benefit has been refused to persons undergoing a course of training without pay?
§ Mr. E. BrownI regret that this information is not available.
§ Mr. DayCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether there are a large number of persons in this category?
§ Mr. CassellsIs the Minister aware that the point raised in this question is giving great concern to omnibus employés, particularly in Scotland; and, if so, is he not prepared to have an investigation into it?
§ Mr. BrownI am prepared to look into any particular case which the hon. Member cares to bring to my attention, but the hon. Gentleman who put down the question asked for a general statement about the whole country, and I cannot give that.
