HC Deb 11 May 1936 vol 312 c38W
Sir R. GOWER

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has given any further consideration to the possibility of bringing within the scope of unemployment insurance persons on the established lists of His Majesty's dockyards and naval establishments; and, if not, whether he will consider an alternative scheme for returning to them the total value of their contributions at such date as they may be placed on such lists?

Mr. E. BROWN

I propose to refer this matter to the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee for advice so soon as, in view of their other commitments, they are in a position to deal with it.

Sir R. GOWER

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has yet been able to obtain any information as to the total number of established industrial workmen employed in His Majesty's dockyards and naval establishments who have contributed to unemployment insurance, and the total amount contributed by them to the Unemployment Insurance Fund?

Mr. E. BROWN

I regret that this information is not available.
