§ Mr. STEPHENasked the Minister of Labour the number of men and women 1341W whose unemployment assistance rates will be increased and decreased, respectively, who are registered at the unemployment assistance offices in Bridgeton and Parkhead areas, Glasgow, when the new regulations come into operation?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADUntil the reassessment of all cases in accordance with the new regulations has been completed, it will not be possible to give any details about the effect of the new regulations in any area. It is anticipated that all current cases will have been reviewed by the end of about five weeks from to-day. As regards reductions of allowances, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 12th November to the hon. Member for Chester-le-Street (Mr. Lawson).
§ Mr. STEPHENasked the Minister of Labour the number of men and women in receipt of unemployment assistance in the Carrilachie Parliamentary Division, Glasgow, to the nearest available date?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADI regret that this information is not available in respect of Parliamentary Divisions. Unemployed persons resident in the Camlachie Parliamentary Division would probably be registered either at the Bridgeton or at the Parkhead Employment Exchange.
