Army Reserve Men

Viscount WOLMER
asked the Minister of Labour whether men on the Army Reserve, Section D, in receipt of 1s. per day pension are ineligible for unemployment pay?

Dr. MACNAMARA
The receipt of such a pension is not a disqualification for  unemployment, benefit. If the men referred to are unemployed and fulfil the requisite conditions, benefit would be payable. I am sending the Noble Lord particulars of the conditions which must be satisfied.
