HC Deb 13 April 1927 vol 205 cc379-81W
Mr. W. BAKER

asked the Minister of labour whether he will call for a Return of the number of men and women over 70 years of age who are contributing towards the Unemployment Insurance Fund, giving the number of such persons who have been refused benefit on the ground that they are not likely to secure further employment, and that they are in receipt of old age pensions?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

No, Sir; the expense of obtaining such a Return would be prohibitive.
