HC Deb 30 November 1922 vol 159 c924W
Mr. GRIFFITHS

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that one of his staff, Mr. Pullin, informed some of the unemployed workers from Cwmbran (Mon.) that unless they looked for employment in other parts of the district and presented a document to show that they had been refused work their unemployment pay would be stopped; is he aware that at Blaenavon and other parts of the valley there are thousands of unemployed; and will he instruct this particular official to give fair treatment to men who are willing and anxious to work if that work is obtainable?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER

I am having inquiry made forthwith, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
