HC Deb 04 December 1930 vol 245 cc2359-60
20. Mr. THORNE

asked the Minister of Labour whether the Employment Exchanges have had any difficulty in filling applications for employés made by firms whose places of business are situated in the old grounds of the Empire Exhibition at Wembley?

Miss BONDFIELD

The Employment Exchanges have had no difficulty in filling vacancies notified to them by employers in the Exhibition grounds at Wembley.

Mr. THORNE

May I ask whether the Government have tried to get some information circulated as regards this matter and whether it has been in any way successful?

Miss BONDFIELD

Yes, if the hon. Member has in mind the Shufliex Rubber Company, I had the most exhaustive inquiries made, and all the vacancies notified by that firm were filled.
