§ Lieut.-Colonel Heneageasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been called to the difficulty that farmers and agricultural workers are finding in getting rebate for long hiring provided for under Section 10 of the Unemployment Insurance (Agricultural) Act, 1936, and the regulations made under that Section; and will he take steps to see that the rebate provided by the Act is not made the subject of a long and difficult fight between the agricultural community and the official of the Ministry of Labour?
§ Mr. E. BrownI am not aware that any difficulty has arisen when an application for rebate has been in order in accordance with the Act and the Regulations. It will be appreciated that, before allowing any rebate, my Department must be satisfied that the relevant statutory conditions are fulfilled.
