HC Deb 22 June 1927 vol 207 cc1862-3W
Mr. BARNES

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the representatives on the wage earners' side of the general purposes sub-committee of the East Ham local employment committee have refused to function; and can he state the reasons?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

Yes, Sir; the workpeople's representatives on this sub-committee recently refused to continue to deal with claims for benefit as they disagreed with the Department's decisions on certain recommendations.
