HC Deb 05 August 1925 vol 187 c1345
36. Mr. F. MITCHELL

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that many papers published in agricultural districts now contain advertisements for agricultural workers; whether it is the policy of the local Employment Ex changes to reply to these advertisements offering the services of unemployed men; and, if not, will he say why?

Mr. BETTERTON

Yes, Sir. Under current instructions Exchanges submit the names of suitable persons on the register of unemployed to employers advertising in the newspapers for labour.
