HC Deb 14 July 1938 vol 338 cc1538-9W
Mr. Bevan

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will state the number of persons who have been affected by the ceiling rule of the Agricultural Unemployment Insurance Act?

Mr. E. Brown

At 23rd May, 1938, out of approximately 20,000 persons with claims admitted for agricultural benefit, 375 would have qualified for benefit at a higher rate but for the operation of the rule which limits the weekly amount payable to a maximum of 30s.
