HC Deb 07 April 1936 vol 310 c2638W
Mr. SMEDLEY CROOKE

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in the course of his inquiry into the working of the unemployment insurance regulations, he will give special attention to the position of seasonal workers who at present, while paying their contributions under the Act, are generally debarred from obtaining benefit when unemployed?

Mr. E. BROWN

A report of the Unemployment Insurance Statutory Committee upon the working of the Seasonal Workers Order was published on 25th July, 1935. The Unemployment Insurance Anomalies (Seasonal Workers) Order, 1935, gave effect to the recommendations contained in the report and as at present advised I do not think that a fresh inquiry would be justified.
