§ Mr. CAPEasked the Minister of Labour whether consideration has been given to the question of transferring from the headquarters of his Department to the divisional offices the examination of all suspected benefit fraud cases under the Unemployment Insurance Acts; and, if so, with what results?
§ Sir. H. BETTERTONSome preliminary examination of such cases has 539W always been made by the local officers of the Department; about a year ago, in order to relieve headquarters of the necessity for dealing with cases in which, after examination, there appeared to be no sufficient prima facie ground for taking proceedings, divisional controllers were authorised to dispose finally of such cases.
