150. Mrs. Braddockasked the Minister of National Insurance the number of men who have exhausted their standard unemployment benefits and are still unemployed; and how many of them are ex-Servicemen.
§ Mr. LindgrenBetween 8th April and 5th July, 1946, 19,352 men exhausted their unemployment benefit, including any additional days to which they may have been entitled under the Unemployment Insurance (Emergency Powers) (Amendment) Regulations, 1946. I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour that it is not possible, without considerable research, to say how many of these individuals are still unemployed or are ex-Servicemen.
