HC Deb 14 March 1940 vol 358 cc1338-9
20. Mr. Lawson

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has yet received the reports of the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee on the financial condition of the Unemployment Fund for the past year; and what action he proposes to take with regard to the committee's recommendations?

Mr. E. Brown

I have received the reports in question. The Government have decided to accept the committee's recommendations, and the necessary draft order will shortly be laid before Parliament for approval. Copies of the reports will be available later to-day.
