HC Deb 01 May 1930 vol 238 cc383-4W
Sir G. PENNY

asked the Minister of Labour whether, instead of paying the full amount of unemployment benefit in cash, she will consider the desirability of issuing food tickets for a proportion of the amount where the recipient has a family dependent upon him?

Miss BONDFIELD

This suggestion has been considered several times in the past. In my view, it would not be desirable to adopt it.
