§ 56. Mr. McENTEEasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that amongst unemployed women clerks resident in Richmond there is a feeling that they cannot expect fair treatment in future through the Richmond Exchange, having regard to the attacks recently made on the employment of women as clerks by the local employment committee; and what steps he proposes to take to remedy this state of affairs?
§ Sir M. BARLOWI have not been made aware of any feeling on the part of women clerks resident in Richmond that their treatment at the Richmond Employment Exchange would be otherwise than impartial. I may add that I am asking the local employment committee to consider whether, having regard to the industrial circumstances of the district, it is desirable that further representation on the committee should be accorded to organisations of women workers.
