HC Deb 02 August 1922 vol 157 c1492W
Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Minister of Labour whether a number of refugees from Belfast are now residing in Govan; whether a number of them were expelled from the shipyard because they were Roman Catholics, owing to the action taken by their fellow workers; whether their claims, for unemployment benefit have been disallowed on the grounds that they are not looking for employment or that they were not formally employed; and whether he will have some investigations made into their claims, as some of these people have been signing for nine weeks and have received no benefit during that time?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I am having inquiry made into these cases, and will communicate the results to my hon. Friend.
