Mr. Naylor

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the exceptionally prolonged unemployment prevailing in certain industries, he will restore the pre-war extended-benefit period of 312 days, which was reduced to 180 days under the Emergency Powers Regulations, 6th September, 1939?

Mr. E. Brown

I would refer the hon. Member to the replies which I gave on 8th February to a similar Question by the hon. Member for Burnley (Mr. Burke).
