§ 10. Mr. TINKERasked the Minister of Labour if he has received a communication from the Tyldesley District Council in regard to his intention to remove the Employment Exchange to Atherton; and will he give consideration to the application made for a sub-office at Tyldesley, as, unless this is granted, it will mean considerable expense for the unemployed people of Mossley Common, Boothstown, and Astley who at present register at Tyldesley?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDI have been in communication with the Tyldesley Urban District Council and have undertaken that the claims of Tyldesley and the outlying districts to separate facilities will be considered in the light of the conditions that obtain when the Exchange is moved from Tyldesley to Atherton.
§ Mr. GREENALLWill the right hon. Gentleman receive a deputation representative of these outlying districts before he finally decides? I think that is very necessary.
§ Mr. TINKERThe constituencies which are affected by this proposal desire to meet the Minister of Labour through their Parliamentary 'representatives before he comes to a final decision.
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDI cannot answer off hand, but if the hon. Members will get in touch with me or with the Parliamentary Secretary we can discuss the matter and find out if any advantage is to he gained by a further consultation.
