HC Deb 27 January 1964 vol 688 c14W
Mr. Malcolm MacMillan

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance from which trade unions, local authorities, firms, private persons and organisations he has received representations, in any form, asking that weavers in the Harris Tweed industry in the Western Isles be classed as employed persons, able to qualify for unemployment insurance benefit when out of work.

Mrs. Thatcher

Since the Questions on the topic asked in 1959 and 1960 by the hon. Member, the only such representation of which there is a record has been a letter sent in 1960 by the Western Isles Constituency Labour Party.
