§ 8. Mr. Buchananasked the Minister of Labour when the scheme came into operation for dealing with all disputed claims for unemployment benefit through the chief insurance officer in the Glasgow Exchange instead of by the insurance officer at each local exchange; whether he is aware that in the South Side Exchange delay is now taking place in dealing with these claims; and whether he intends to take any action?
§ Mr. E. BrownThese arrangements came into operation at Glasgow on 17th October, 1938. Unfortunately there was some delay at first in dealing with some of the claims, but I have no reason to fear that this will happen again.
