HC Deb 22 December 1938 vol 342 c3100W
Mr. G. Macdonald

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will consult the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee on the advisability of amending the continuity period for unemployment benefit by substituting two days in six for three days in six?

Mr. E. Brown

I informed the hon. Member last week that, on present information, I know of no ground for the change suggested. I do not propose to consult the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee on this matter before a prima facie case is made out for my doing so.
