HC Deb 17 March 1925 vol 181 cc2106-7W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that a certificate of exception under Part II (d) of the First Schedule of the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1920, as amended, has been granted to the Chatham and District Light Railway Company, Limited, in respect of certain of their employés; and will he have such certificate withdrawn, in view of the fact that on a ballot vote 95 per cent. of the said employés have declared their desire to remain within the scope of the Act?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I am informed that discussions are proceeding between the employers and employés in this case, and I think it desirable to await the result before considering whether any action is necessary.
