HC Deb 24 November 1938 vol 341 c1918
16. Mr. Logan

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that there are many cases of unemployed men in Liverpool who have not yet received winter allowances; and whether he will expedite payments?

Mr. E. Brown

I am informed by the Unemployment Assistance Board that the review of current cases in Liverpool in accordance with instructions issued by the Board in connection with increased allowances under the Winter Adjustments Regulations—of which a copy was placed in the Library—has now been completed. Each case has been considered on its merits and an addition has been made where the circumstances require it.

Mr. Logan

Is the right hon. Gentleman able to say that all those entitled to pay received pay?

Mr. Brown

I could not say that, but if the hon. Member will put down another question I can give him the whole of the facts.
