asked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been called to the shortage of labour in the Scottish tweed trade and of female labour in the boot trade in the Northampton district; and whether steps can be taken to direct unemployed labour to these industries?

I am having inquiries made and will communicate with my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
