HC Deb 02 June 1919 vol 116 cc1721-2W
Sir KINGSLEY WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour whether men who were employed during the War in the ordnance factories are, on discharge, being refused unemployment donation policies by the local Labour Exchanges, on the ground that they are not contributors under the National Insurance Act by reason of their being exempted persons as pensioners of the Arsenal or the Army?

Sir R. HORNE

The answer to this question is in the affirmative. It is a condition for the receipt of out-of-work donation by adult civilian workers that they should have been employed contributors under the National Health Insurance scheme at least three months prior to 25th November, 1918.
