HC Deb 21 May 1924 vol 173 c2178
34. Mr. WILLIAM MARTIN

asked 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. SHAW

I am having inquiries made, and will communicate the result immediately to my hon. Friend.
