HC Deb 25 March 1968 vol 761 cc178-9W
49. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Labour if he will investigate the case, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Louth, of a person who received £11 a week unemployment pay, earned £10 a week tax free on the side, had not worked for two years and had no intention of working, and made excuses to would-be employers to make himself unsuitable; and what steps he is taking to stop this abuse.

Mr. Gunter

Enquiries have failed to reveal the identity of this person. If his identity is discovered the case will be investigated.
