HC Deb 10 May 1922 vol 153 cc2221-2W
Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Minister of Labour whether "he has yet appointed the ad hoc committee which, on the Report stage of the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1922, he promised to set up to inquire into the possibility of framing amending legislation whereby the innocent victims of a trade dispute should not be debarred from receiving the unemployed pay to which they had been compelled to contribute when at work?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I am taking steps in accordance with my undertaking, to set up a representative committee to go into this matter. But I am not yet in a position to make any announcement with regard to its composition or precise terms of reference.
