HC Deb 24 February 1930 vol 235 c1876W
Mr. WEST RUSSELL

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in connection with entitlement to benefit under the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1930, she has issued any instructions, and, if so, what, to insurance officers to guide them in their decisions on claims submitted to them?

Miss BONDFIELD

I have no authority to issue instructions to the insurance officers for this purpose. In arriving at their decisions these officers must be guided by the statutory provisions as interpreted by the decisions of the Umpire.
