§ 34. Mr. WILLIAM MARTINasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the unemployed in that district have to sign at the Alexandria (Dumbarton) Exchange four days a week; that this reacts against the men seeking employment, as it necessitates travelling to Dumbarton, Clydebank, and Glasgow, the, latter 20 miles away; and that the only hopeful days of visiting works are Monday and Tuesday, on which days the register has to be signed; and if he will consider reducing the number of days when signing is necessary or, alternatively, change the days for signing to the later days of the week?
§ Mr. SHAWI am having inquiries made, and will communicate the result immediately to my hon. Friend.
