Mr. FOOT:

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Rose E. Edwards, of Chippenham (unemployment book 134/K, 14,933), employed until recently at a milk factory, whose unemployment card has been regularly stamped since 16th January, 191V, has received benefit only for five weeks and is now out of benefit; and whether he can state why, as her contributions have been fully paid, she is not entitled to draw benefit for 15 consecutive weeks?

I am making inquiries locally in this case and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend.
