§ Mr. MILLSasked the Minister of Labour whether he is in a position to state the result of his inquiries into the case of iss A. C. Phillips 17a, Wellington Road, Bow, whose claim for unemployment benefit has been disallowed at the Stratford Employment Exchange?
§ Sir M. BARLOWI have made inquiries and find that Miss Phillips' claim to further uncovenanted benefit was disallowed by the local Employment committee on the ground that she is living with an adult relative w ho is in employment. I am also informed that she has paid 34 unemployment insurance contributions, and has drawn in all 132 days benefit, which is, of course, greatly in excess of the covenanted benefit due in respect of this number of contributions.
