asked the Minister of Labour the number of persons defined as seasonal workers who failed to qualify for unemployment benefit in Glasgow for the years 1936 and 1937, respectively?

I am having the available figures extracted, and will circulate a statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT as soon as possible.

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the point of view that these seasonal workers, by undertaking employment, show a desire for permanent employment, and will he consider a revision of the regulations with a view to modifying them?

We have already reviewed them and modified them since I have been Minister of Labour, and I know of no reason for going further at the moment.

Will the right hon. Gentleman consider the point that many of these people, by undertaking seasonal employment, show their desire for work?

Since the Anomalies Act was passed in 1931 there are a large number of seasonal workers who have never even been back to the exchange to register
