§ 14. Mr. KELLYasked the Minister of Labour the number of advisory committees in connection with Employment Exchanges for the purpose of placing juveniles in employment; and whether reports of their work are presented each year?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThe number of advisory committees for juvenile employment at present operating in connection with the Employment Exchanges is 174. Each of these Committees presents annually a report to the Minister. The majority of the reports for the year 1929 have already been received, and in accordance with the usual practice a summary of the reports will be published.
§ Miss BONDFIELDI cannot say within a week.
§ Mr. McSHANEIs the right hon. Lady satisfied that most of these advisory committees serve no useful purpose?
