§ 18. Colonel DAYasked the Minister of Labour the number of signatures per week required by casual dockworkers registered at the Walworth Road (Borough) Employment Exchange, together with the number of times of signing-on required by other classifications?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDDockworkers registered at the Borough Exchange prove unemployment by means of attendance cards presented twice daily except on Saturday at special port workers' offices. Other casual workers attend at the Exchange once daily. Owing to exceptional pressure of work at the Exchange the number of attendance of male claimants in other classifications has been reduced, as a temporary measure, from Monday, 28th June, from three to two per week. Women attend on three days per week.
