HC Deb 23 May 1928 vol 217 c1912W
Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Labour the number of men and women whose unemployment benefit stopped when the new Act came into operation in April last by reason of the conditions of that Act?

Mr. BETTERTON

Statistics giving the information desired are not available, but the available evidence goes to show that the effect of the new Act has been to increase the extent to which benefit is allowed.
