57. Lieut.-Colonel WINDSOR-CLIVE

asked the Minister of Labour whether she will consider opening an Employment Exchange on one day a week at the mining village of Highley, in Shropshire, owing to the large number of persons who have to undergo expense in proceeding thence to other places to draw benefit?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Lawson)

I am having inquiry made, and will communicate with the hon. and gallant Member.

Lieut.-Colonel WINDSOR - CLIVE

Will the hon. Gentleman bear in mind the fact that over 100 persons are involved in this colliery village?

Mr. LAWSON

We are expediting the inquiry as much as we can.
