§ Mr. Bishopasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she will consider raising the £1,500 per year earnings maximum limit for qualification under the Resettlement Transfer Scheme, in view of the fact that those earning greater incomes and seeking work elsewhere may experience more difficulty in obtaining employment in their home area than those receiving less.
§ Mr. FernyhoughThis and other aspects of the Resettlement Transfer Scheme are under review. I must point out, however, that the limit was raised from £900 to £1,500 in February, 1965.
