§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, under Clause 80 of the National Insurance Bill, trade unions will be allowed to claim the Board of Trade subsidy of one-sixth of unemployment benefits paid if Members of the union decide to share employment in alternate weeks during periods of industrial depression?
Mr. BUXTONSubject to the regulations to be made under Clause 80, I see no reason why the State Grant contemplated under that Clause should be withheld in such a case as that referred to in the question.
