asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that a number of persons employed in the Glasgow Police Department for a number of years and who have paid unemployment and National Health Insurance have been told that under the terms of the new Unemployment Insurance Act they are no longer insurable and are being offered repayment of contributions paid by them up to six years; and whether he will state the class or classes of workers in the police department that this ruling affects?

Mr. STANLEY:

I have been asked to reply. I am making certain inquiries into this matter and will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
