§ Captain SPENDER CLAYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will take steps to ascertain the number of persons who lose their employment owing to the increase of the Licence Duties; and if the Government propose to assist them to find fresh employment?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Sydney Buxton)I do not think it would be possible to ascertain with accuracy the number of persons, if any, who have lost their employment owing to any particular cause. Any work men desiring to find fresh employment will receive from the Labour Exchanges such assistance as they can give.
