HC Deb 30 May 1911 vol 26 c1034W
Sir JOHN BRIGG

asked the President of the Board of Trade what are the other occupations which will be provided for applicants to the labour bureaux who, through unskilfulness or other causes, cannot retain the situations found for them or profit by the technical instruction which may be offered?

Mr. BUXTON

I assume my hon. Friend to refer to certain words in Clause 74, Sub-clause (1) of the National Insurance Bill. These words relate solely to the class of work which may be deemed suitable to the persons to whom my hon. Friend refers for the purpose of Clause 62, Sub-section (3) of the Bill—i.e., inability to obtain which is an essential qualification for the receipt of unemployment benefit under the Act. There is, of course, no undertaking to provide work for these or any other class of applicants.
