HC Deb 31 July 1924 vol 176 c2282W
Captain TERRELL

asked the Minister of Labour if he will obtain Returns distinguishing persons on covenanted and uncovenanted benefit, seeing that six months have elapsed since the last similar Return?

Mr. SHAW

Owing to the pressure of work which will be thrown upon the Employment Exchanges in the next few weeks in bringing the new Unemployment Insurance Bill into operation, it will not be practicable to make another inquiry of this nature in the immediate future. I propose, however, in the autumn to obtain a Return distinguishing between benefit directly proportional to contributions and benefit under the other statutory conditions contained in the Bill.
