I have recently had inquiries made into the application of the unemployment insurance scheme to the fishing industry in Cornwall. These disclose difficulties in the application of the present statutory provisions which can only be satisfactorily dealt with under the scheme embodied in the new National Insurance Act. I am, therefore, forthwith extending the field of my inquiries to other parts of the country, with a view to submitting the whole matter, as soon as possible, to the National Insurance Advisory Committee which I am now setting up. The committee will no doubt invite evidence from the interested parties and will, I hope, make recommendations on which I can frame regulations to deal with the situation as a whole as early as possible.
