asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he will state, in respect of each of the insurance years ended on 30th September, 1945 and 1946, the payments into and disbursements out of the Unemployment Fund, distinguishing between the several heads under which payments and disbursements were made.
Written Answers. - Unemployment Fund.
As the accounts are kept on a monthly basis, figures are not available for "the insurance year", which begins on the first Monday in October of each year. I am circulating with the Official Report a statement showing the receipts into and the payments out of the Unemployment Fund for the years ending 30th September, 1945, and 30th September, 1946.
