§ Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Labour what is the estimated reduction that will be made in the registered number of the unemployed when the waiting period is extended from three to six days?
§ Mr. BETTERTONThe extension of the waiting period to six days will not affect the numbers on the register except in so far as those who do not expect to be unemployed for more than six days may not take the trouble to register themselves. It is not possible to make any reliable estimate of the number who will thus fail to register.
