§ 15. Mr. Manderasked the Minister of Labour why no unemployment benefit is paid for Saturdays, followed by a week's unemployment, to the employés of a Wednesfield firm, in view of the fact that the firm do not work regularly a five-day week when on full time?
§ Mr. E. BrownI regret that I cannot deal with this point without details enabling me to identify the particular case. Perhaps the hon. Member will be good enough to send these to me.
§ Mr. ManderI will do that. Will the Minister bear in mind the fact that this firm does not normally work a five-day week, and that there are about 150 persons affected?
§ Mr. BrownWhen I get the information from the hon. Member, I will not only take note of it, but will investigate that point as well.
