HC Deb 10 December 1975 vol 902 cc223-4W
Mr. Hayhoe

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the National Insurance Commissioner or local appeals tribunals have ever decided that an individual, dismissed for not joining a union specified in a union membership agreement or a closed shop agreement, be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefit; and if she will give details of the particular case or cases concerned.

Mr. O'Malley

There is no published decision of the National Insurance Commissioner in which a person has been disqualified for receiving unemployment benefit on the ground that he was dismissed for not belonging to a union. Nor, so far as I am aware, has there been any such unpublished decision, but the Department does not maintain a central

modation and treatment of in-patients in National Health Service hospitals for the latest three years that are available.

Dr. Owen

The required information for hospitals in England is as follows:

index of the many thousands of Commissioners' decisions which are not published nor of decisions by local tribunals.
