§ 103. Mr. RUPERT GWYNNEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether inconvenience is being caused at Eastbourne by the provision existing at the Labour Exchange that applicants for certain classes of work must attend between the hours of nine and twelve or two and four o'clock, in order to get their names entered on the books; and whether, in view of the fact that it is often impossible for men who have temporary work to attend at these hours, he will have inquiries made with a view to remedying this hardship, and so render the Labour Exchange more effective?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. J. M. Robertson)The hours in question were at the outset thought to be sufficient for the Eastbourne office, which has only recently been opened. I am making inquiries into the case referred to by the hon. Member, and will endeavour to arrange that no further difficulties of this kind shall arise.
