§ Mr. Ness Edwardsasked the Minister of Labour whether he will give an area example of the percentage of claimants in receipt of winter allowances, unemployment assistance; and whether he will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT the instructions issued to area officers in relation to the application of the winter allowances?
§ Mr. E. BrownI regret that the information asked for in the first part of the hon. Member's question is not available. A copy of the general instruction issued to the Board's officers with regard to the grant of extra allowances during the winter months has been placed in the Library of the House, and in the circumstances it does not seem necessary to have it printed in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
