HC Deb 13 July 1953 vol 517 cc126-7W
85. Mr. Keenan

asked the Minister of National Insurance what will be the position of those persons who have exhausted their unemployment benefits under the new extended benefit scheme and are receiving benefit from the National Assistance Board; and if they will continue to be insured for all other benefits under National Insurance.

Mr. Peake

A person who after drawing his additional days of unemployment benefit is still unemployed and is receiving National Assistance, will be credited with contributions on the same conditions as when he was receiving insurance benefit.
