Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 9 March 1939.
Determinations providing for the issue of allowances partly in kind under Section 40 of the Act are not made solely on account of a poor industrial record; but the applicant's industrial record may be one of the factors taken into account in considering all the circumstances of the case as required by the Section. On 28th January last there were in all 733 determinations current which provided for the payment of weekly allowances wholly or partly in kind. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative. I may add that on 28th January the live load consisted of 619,686 cases.
