§ 8. Sir R. THOMASasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that there is a shortage of juvenile labour in some parts of the country, while in others there is juvenile unemployment; and whether the transference of adolescent workers comes within the scope of the Industrial Transference Board's investigations?
§ Mr. BETTERTONYes, Sir, I am aware of the facts. The problem is clearly one within the scope of the Industrial Transference Board.
§ Sir R. THOMASIs the hon. Member not aware that these men who are considered over age are being neglected and are not being transferred, and that a great number of them are anxious to obtain employment?
§ Mr. BETTERTONNo doubt those are just the problems which are now being considered by the Industrial Transference Board.
