Mr. T. MORRISasked the Minister of Labour whether unemployed men taken for a week's recreation to a private holiday camp are allowed to receive unemployment pay; and, if not, whether he will consider the alteration of the regulations to permit them to do so?
§ Mr. ERNEST BROWNProvided that they satisfy the usual conditions and make the necessary arrangements with the local office, there is no reason why unemployed persons should not continue to receive unemployment benefit or unemployment allowances during a week's absence at an organised holiday camp. In order to obtain detailed information as to what is required in particular cases organisers of such camps should communicate beforehand with the local office or offices of the Ministry in the districts from which the campers will be drawn.
