HC Deb 28 October 1937 vol 328 cc226-7
17. Mr. T. Williams

asked the Minister of Labour how many persons are in receipt of unemployment benefits or unemployment assistance who also receive partial compensation payments?

Mr. E. Brown

I regret that statistics giving the information desired are not available.

Mr. Williams

Will the right hon. Gentleman try to ascertain what the figures are, so that we can see to what extent the Unemployment Insurance Fund is bearing compensation liability?

Mr. Brown

As the hon. Member understands, with regard to benefit, of course, we do not inquire what the means of insured persons are.
