SUSTENANCE FRAUDS
CASES OF MISTAKES
MINISTER SYMUATHP/FIC
(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day
When the Itev. T. Halliday, representing social services, asked the acting-Ministcr of Labour, the Hon. P. C. Webb, during a deputation today that the Government should cease prosecuting men for sustenance frauds in cases where the men had miscalculated over a period of years, Mr. Webb said that the department would never be harsh where mistakes had been unconsciously made, but lie pointed out that in many cases men had set themselves out deliberately to defraud, not so much the Government, but their fellow workers. In every such case even where a prosecution was not made it would be demanded of the men that they made restitution.
