HC Deb 18 November 1925 vol 188 c410W
Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Labour what provision, if any, is being made for established men of His Majesty's dockyards to recover the contributions paid by them under the National Unemployment Insurance Act, seeing that these men have contributed towards unemployment benefit for many years prior to their becoming established, and on establishment they cease to subscribe, and on discharge they are ineligible for the unemployment benefit; and, seeing that most of these men are under the age of 50 and cannot now claim a refund, will he provide some means whereby these men will be able to recover some of the contributions paid by them before establishment?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I am afraid I can add nothing to the answer I gave on 15th July to a question in identical terms asked by the hon. Member.
