§ 76. Mr. PRINGLEasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been called to the fact that at Oughtibridge and Worrall there are 150 unemployed who have twice a week to attend the Labour Exchange either at the Corn Exchange, Sheffield, a distance of six miles, or at Stocksbridge, a distance of five miles; whether he is aware that a number of the older men are unable to walk these distances and have to pay 2s. 4d. per week in travelling expenses; and whether, in view of the number affected, he can see his way to make some alternative arrangement whereby it will be unnecessary to travel these distances?
§ Sir M. BARLOWI am considering whether some arrangement can be made to reduce the number of attendances in the cases mentioned by the hon. Member, and I will communicate with him as soon as I have completed my inquiries.
