HC Deb 10 August 1914 vol 65 c2259
Sir STUART SAMUEL

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will endeavour to give preferential employment to carmen in cases where the horses they drive have been commandeered?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

I cannot give any promise of a general nature as to the way in which the Labour Exchanges will work, but the Labour Exchange officials have been informed that they must, of course, give the most urgent cases their first consideration.
