HC Deb 26 July 1939 vol 230 c1565
4. Mr. FRANK SMITH

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the inadequacy of the statutory allowance of 2s. per week allowed for a dependent child of a parent in receipt of unemployment benefit, she can see her way to sympathetically consider the question with a view to an increase in the allowance?

The MINISTER of LABOUR (Miss Bondfield)

I will note this point.
