§ Sir A. Baillieasked the Minister of of Labour whether he is aware that, while a number of unemployed men are being provided by the Employment Exchanges for work on threshing machines on farms, in the event of rain preventing these men working they receive no wages and, in addition, they lose their unemployment benefit; and if he will consider taking immediate steps to remedy this state of affairs, especially in view of the shortage of farm labour in certain districts?
§ Mr. E. BrownIf my hon. Friend will be good enough to give me particulars of specific cases, I will at once have inquiry made.
