in the House of Commons vester- day, Mr. Neil MacLean (Lab Govan) said that the unemployed | were expected to become enthu- siastic" because 200,000 among them were likely to receive an in- crease of an average of 6d. week{ ly. Amid laughter he referred to the payments as a Woolworth in-j crease from a Woolworth Govern ment

The Secretary for Scotland, Sir Godrey Collins, said that the] Government confidently looked to an unbiassed public opinion, sym- pathetically moved towards the needs of the unemployed, to ap- prove the regulations intended to: give evenhanded justice to all sp-i plicants. Great Britain was treat-! ing her unemployed better than any other nation in the world.

Mr. Dingle Foot (L, Dundee) criticised the regulations, al- though be regarded them as an improvement, on the 1934 draft.
