LOWER RELIEF TAX?
CONSIDERATION BY MINISTER
WELLINGTON, Aug. 4
“That phase of the question has not escaped my attention, and indeed it has given me some thought for quite a while,” the acting Minister of Employment (Hon. J. A. Young) said last evening, in reply to a question as to whether there would he any relief from unemployment taxation this session.
The Minister indicated that there would be legislation amending the Unemployment Act, but he was unable'to give the exact nature of the proposals. There were certain anomalies that imposed hardship on certain sections of the community that should be investigated at least with a view to giving some measure of relief if that were at all possible. At the same time his first consideration was for the unemployed themselves and nothing would be done that would jeopardise the stability of the unemployment fund.
