§ 6. Mr. Bramallasked the Minister of National-Insurance what is the total number of former members of the Polish Resettlement Corps receiving grants from the National Assistance Board; how many of these are in hostels; and what scale of grants is paid to those in hostels and in private accommodation, respectively.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsThere are rather less than 1,000 unemployed Polish men former members of the Resettlement Corps in hostels administered by the National Assistance Board. Of these about 300 are disabled. They are provided with maintenance and 5s. a week pocket money by the Board with corresponding allowances for dependants. Poles not living in hostels who are in receipt of assistance are not distinguished from applicants for assistance generally but their number is small. They receive assistance at the ordinary rates approved by Parliament.
