HC Deb 05 March 1924 vol 170 c1367
38. Mr. BARNES

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can make arrangements for dock workers in East Ham, who have to sign on at the Employment Exchange at the docks twice a day, to give their second declaration at the Exchange nearest to where they live and thus enable them to avoid unnecessary journeys to the docks when there is no employment?

Mr. SHAW

I am having special inquiry made regarding this matter and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
