Mr. LAWTHERasked the Lord Privy Seal if, where representations are made by the local authorities, he will seek to have the conditions at present laid down by the Unemployment Grants Committee relaxed, as it is felt by some local authorities in some areas that they ought to have more freedom in the selection of workmen, having regard to the circumstances and conditions operating in that particular district?
Mr. THOMASIf my hon. Friend will give me particulars of any case he has in mind, I shall be glad to look into the matter in conjunction with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour.
