§ Mr. Barnesasked the Minister of Labour under what regulation lifeboatmen, who in their ordinary occupations are insured persons, have their unemployment benefit stopped if they are unemployed when they go to sea in response to distress signals?
§ Mr. E. BrownI understand that, in accordance with a decision of the umpire given as long ago as 1925, life boatmen who receive more than 3s. 4d. a day for their services are not held to be unemployed on the day for which the payment is made.
