§ 4. Mr. Thurtleasked the Minister of Labour whether, in cases where married women with children have left employment in vulnerable areas, such as London, in order to seek safer areas, he will see that their eligibility to unemployment benefit is not contested on the ground that they have voluntarily left their employment?
§ Mr. BevinIn general, such claims to benefit are not contested on the ground that the applicants have voluntarily left employment without just cause. In some cases the circumstances may be such that the insurance officer is unable himself to allow benefit; in that event he refers the claim to a court of referees for decision.
§ Mr. ThurtleIf I bring to the notice of the right hon. Gentleman a specific case where this ground has been used for refusing benefit, will he have it looked into?
