§ 44. Mr. Boardmanasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance to what extent it is the regular practice of the National Assistance Board to write to those who, having received assistance and on re-starting work, have returned their order book to the local office requesting the person concerned to obtain 5W a note from the employer stating when he will receive his first wage and confirming that no advance of wages is available.
§ Mr. PentlandThis is done only where additional assistance is asked for until the first wages are received. There is, of course, no need to obtain a note where it is not intended to make a further application for assistance.
