HC Deb 25 February 1935 vol 298 cc784-5W
Mr. LOGAN

asked the Minister of Labour what is the estimated saving on the nil determinations in transitional cases from the operation of the Order in Council, 1931, until the Unemployment Assistance Board took over these cases?

Mr. STANLEY

The amount which would have been paid at the full benefit rate to applicants who received nil determinations depends of course on the periods for which they remained unemployed, and adequate statistics on this point are not available since it is not known, in the case of many of these applicants, whether they obtained employment when they went off the register.
