HC Deb 28 April 1931 vol 251 cc1454-5W
Earl of DALKEITH

asked the Minister of Health whether he will expedite the payment to the census enumerators who have been drawn from the ranks of the unemployed, especially in view of the fact that these men are suffering deduction of unemployment benefit in respect of this temporary employment?

Mr. GREENWOOD

Arrangements have already been made for the advance payment to each enumerator of the fixed fee of £2 which forms part of the remuneration due to him, on the day upon which the schedules and enumeration book completed by him are delivered to the local registrar. The balance of the remuneration due will be made with as much expedition as possible after the examination and approval of his work.
