The person concerned did not furnish any evidence of unemployment between 22nd October, 1975 and 1st December, 1975. He made a renewed claim for unemployment benefit on 2nd December, 1975 and payment has been made to him from that date. Payments will continue as they fall due. Inquiries regarding the earlier period are proceeding. The question of payment of unemployment assistance does not arise at this stage.
