HC Deb 14 December 1922 vol 159 cc3192-3W
Sir F. HALL

asked the Minister of Labour what is the number of persons, other than British subjects, in this country who are in receipt of unemployment pay and what is the annual cost involved?

Sir M. BARLOW

These figures are not available; but I would point out that no aliens, other than ex-service men or the British-born wives and widows of aliens, are drawing benefit unless they are entitled to it on account of contributions paid by them.
