§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance how many people in Hull now receiving National Assistance are subject to the wage stop; and what percentage of unemployed people is receiving National Assistance in Hull.
§ Mr. PentlandIn the area served by the four National Assistance Board offices 325W in Hull, which includes extensive territory outside the County Borough boundary, there were at 14th December 185 unemployed persons whose allowances were restricted by reference to their usual weekly earnings. The percentage of unemployed people receiving National Assistance in Hull cannot be given since the only figures of unemployed available are for Hull itself, a smaller area than that covered by the four offices of the Board.
