§ Mr. BURGESSasked the Minister of Labour whether he is prepared to render assistance to the men who will be passing through the gap period at Christmas?
§ Major BOYD-CARPENTERDuring the fourth special period, beginning 2nd November, 1922, the minimum benefit for those satisfying the conditions laid down by the Acts is 12 weeks without any "gap." There is, therefore, no question of a gap period arising at Christmas.
