HC Deb 20 March 1929 vol 226 cc1722-3
19. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has had any Report of the new Employment Exchange at Hull, particularly as regards accommodation and staffing; and if he is aware that complaints are made of overcrowding and delays in dealing with workmen and others attending the new Exchange?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

An inspection of this new office has been made, and a report will be received shortly. After so recent a move and with the present high rate of unemployment, a certain amount of dislocation is inevitable, but I am not aware of ground for serious complaint of congestion and delay.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

When will the right hon. Gentleman receive the Report?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I will communicate with the hon. and gallant Member when I have read it.
