HC Deb 21 November 1912 vol 44 cc490-1W
Lord ROBERT CECIL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been called to Form U. I. 72, issued by the Board of Trade Labour Exchanges and the Unemployment Insurance Department; whether he is aware that it has been sent to a number of persons over the age of twenty-one, some of whom are married men with children over that age; and whether he will take steps to see that more care is exercised in the issue of that circular?

Mr. ROBERTSON

Complaints have been received on this point, but the mis- take on inquiry has generally been found to be due to the incorrect or illegible insertion of the date of birth on the form of application. I have no reason to think that the form in question has been issued without sufficient care.
