§ Mr. Sproatasked the Secretary of State for Employment what consideration his Department is giving to special regional drives against persons drawing unemployment benefit while working.
§ Mr. GoldingAll the Department of Employment's regional offices arrange special drives in particular trades or types of employment if there are grounds for suspicion that persons drawing unemployment benefit may be engaged in them. The need and occasion for a special drive is determined by each regional office on the basis of the extent or nature of the suspicion aroused. Special drives are undertaken in addition to the normal investigation of suspected individual cases.
