EARL of RONALDSHAYasked if Mr. Harry B. Tress registered himself as unemployed at the Islington Labour Exchange at 133, Holloway Road, on 6th May, 1910; and, if so, can the President of the Board of Trade say whether any employment has been found for him through the agency of the exchange since that date?
§ Mr. TENNANTMr. Tress first registered at the exchange on 4th May, 1910, and has since been on the register at intervals for periods of varying length. His qualifications have been submitted to employers who had notified vacancies on various occasions, but on each occasion without success.
§ Mr. LANSBURYIs it not the fact that in this time of booming trade there are tens of thousands of men on the register who are in exactly the same position as the man referred to in the question?
§ Mr. TENNANTI am not able to answer that question. I should have to examine each case.
