HC Deb 04 December 1930 vol 245 c2356
2. Sir KINGSLEY WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour what steps she is still taking to promote industrial transference; and how many workers have been so transferred during the last four weeks?

Miss BONDFIELD

Industrial transference is being effected by placing persons from the depressed areas in employment elsewhere, either direct, or after a course of training at a centre or a spell of employment on a State-aided scheme. 1,998 persons were so transferred during the four weeks ending 24th November, 1930.

Mr. DAY

Can the right hon. Lady say how many of these workers were transferred to the London area?

Miss BONDFIELD

I should like to have notice of that question
