§ 57. Mr. ALPASSasked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in view of the present state of congestion, he will take steps to expedite the commencement of the building of the new Employment Exchange in Bristol?
§ Mr. LANSBURYSteps have already been taken which it is hoped will make it possible to commence building operations in June next. I can assure my hon. Friend that special attention is being given to this case.
§ Mr. ALPASSIn view of the very great inconvenience which is caused both to the claimants and the officials owing to the present want of arrangements, will the right hon. Gentleman take steps to see if it is not possible to commence before June?
§ Mr. LANSBURYI can only tell the hon. Member that the Department is doing its level best to meet his wishes and the wishes of the people of Bristol.
§ Mr. CULVERWELLIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that an improved Exchange is even more necessary now than it ever was?
§ Mr. LANSBURY; I am sorry that other people did not realise the necessity earlier. We are recognising it and taking action to expedite the erection of this Exchange.
