§ 10. Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that a discharged member of the W.A.A.F., for whom his Department could not find suitable employment, was paid 18s. per week unemployment assistance by the Bargoed assistance office, whilst the girl's board and lodging was 25s. per week; and whether he will see that the Assistance Board pays such allowances in this type of case as will enable these ex-service women to live free of undue hardship?
§ Mr. EdwardsIs the Minister aware that this girl, discharged from the W.A.A.F., was offered either the streets or the workhouse, had it not been for the good offices of the manager of the exchange at Caerphilly, and will he take steps to see that these girls are protected when they are discharged?
§ Mr. BevinI cannot accept what the hon. Member has said before making inquiries. I do not know the facts.
