§ Mr. CLEARYasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that in the city of Liverpool the unemployment assistance board is taking into consideration the full amount of bounty money received by members of the Territorial Army; whether he will say by what authority this is done; and whether he will make representations to the board to stop this practice?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADI am informed by the board that their intention is that proficiency grant received by members of the Territorial Army should invariably be ignored in the assessment of need under the regulations. The board is not aware that any action to the contrary has been taken in Liverpool, and 2669W they assure me that if the hon. Member will furnish them with particulars sufficient to identify individual cases, inquiry will be made and appropriate action taken.
