§ Mr. BRACEasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the reason for the delay in appointing the advisory committees in connection with the Labour Exchanges; and upon what date does he expect to have these advisory committees completed and their work commenced?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Buxton)Under the General Regulations made under the Labour Exchanges Act, the Board of Trade are to consult persons and bodies of employers and workpeople in connection with the appointment of representatives on the advisory committees. Such consultations, of which there have been a considerable number, have necessarily caused delay in the selection of these committees. Some of the committees are, however, now nearly completed.
