Mr. TEMPLE MORRISasked the Minister of Labour whether when the Unemployment Assistance Board takes over transitional payments, he will instruct the Poor Law authorities to keep a record of applications for help from uninsured men over 65 years of age who, owing to their age, are not regarded as able-bodied and who are not old enough to obtain a pension, with the object of ascertaining 1354W the economic difficulties of people between 65 and 70 years of age?
Mr. STANLEYI have no authority to instruct local authorities to keep such records as my hon. Friend suggests.
