§ 63. Mr. Prescottasked the Minister of Labour how many European volunteer workers were, as at the last convenient date, unemployed, particularly in agriculture; and whether there is any difference in the rates of unemployment benefit in such circumstances for European volunteer workers as opposed to British subjects.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsSeparate figures regarding unemployed European volunteer workers are not available, but any who may become redundant in the job in which they are first placed are speedily re-allocated to other essential work, and the number unemployed at any particular time is negligible. The same rates of unemployment benefit apply to them as to British subjects.
