HC Deb 19 February 1946 vol 419 c232W
Mr. D. Williams

asked the Minister of National Insurance if he will consider abolishing the means test for persons in receipt of compensation for partial incapacity and who have been unemployed for long periods because there is no suitable employment available for them in the areas where they reside.

Mr. Lindgren

In so far as such persons remain in the employment field and can satisfy the normal conditions for unemployment benefit, 1 would draw my hon. Friend's attention to the provisions of Clause 61 of the National Insurance Bill now before Parliament.
