GENERAL CRITICISMS
NEW UNEMPLOYMENT ACT
MINISTER AND BOARD
(Brltlsb Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, February 5.
Criticisms of the manner in which the newly-instituted Unemployment Assistance Board has operated were the subject _of; a statement by the Minister of Labour (the Hon. Oliver Stanley) in the House of Commons today.
He said that he recognised that these criticisms, which were not confined to any one party, as to the manner the regulations were working out in practice were not without some justification. Dissatisfaction and grievances were largely due to rigidity and other mistakes inherent in the inception of a new and gigantic scheme.
The board was considering the whole situation; ;and had issued immediate ' instructions which would eliminate a temporary danger of individual hardships. It was dealing not with tangible difficulties of business and finance, but with men and women, and it could not allow a chance of hardships^ continuing while the situation was'being examined.
