HC Deb 16 June 1925 vol 185 c293
77. Mr. RHYS

asked the Minister of Labour when the Employment Exchange at Barking will be opened?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Betterton)

It is necessary to make certain alterations in the building to be used for the Exchange, which is being opened on a provisional basis. It is hoped that these will be completed and the Exchange opened by the middle of next month.

Mr. RHYS

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether the alterations have been commenced?

Mr. BETTERTON

Yes. As I have already told my hon. Friend, they have not only been commenced, but we hope that they will be completed in the course of the next three weeks.
