HC Deb 14 July 1926 vol 198 c395
28. Sir F. WISE

asked the Minister of Labour if any of the Employment Exchanges in important streets have been sold or let, as recommended by the Estimates Committee's Report in 1925?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

The recommendations of the Estimates Committee in this connection involve in moss cases a considerable outlay of money, and the limited sum available in the estimates is nearly all earmarked for other urgent requirements. Action has been taken, however, in two cases and nine other cases are under consideration; the remaining cases, numbering probably less than 20, will be dealt with as opportunity arises.

Mr. BUCHANAN

Can the right hon. Gentleman state the names in the two cases where action has been taken?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

Certainly; Bolton and Kendal.
