§ Mr. Dunnasked the Minister of Labour, whether he is aware that persons evacuated from the London area, whose homes have been bombed and whose works are closed down, and who are in insurable occupations and whose stamps are fully paid up, are being refused statutory benefits by the Employment exchanges for six weeks on the grounds that they have left work voluntarily; that they are also being denied financial aid by the Unemployment Assistance Board on the grounds that they did not come within the scope of assistance according to the regulations; and what steps he is taking to put an end to this grievance?
§ Mr. BevinI am not aware of such cases. If my hon. Friend will give me particulars of any specific cases he has in mind I will have immediate inquiry made.
