§ 21. Mr. PHILIP OLIVERasked the Minister of Labour what arrangements, if any, she has made with employers under Section 5 of the Unemployment Insurance Act, 1930, for the notification by them to Employment Exchanges of situations vacant or to become vacant; and with what associations of employers or employées she has consulted for that purpose?
§ Miss BONDFIELDAlthough no formal arrangements have been made under the Section between my Department and associations of employers and workpeople, arrangements between employers and the Employment Exchanges, and between trade unions and the Exchanges, exist in all areas for co-operation in the filling of vacancies, and these are constantly being developed and expanded. Associations of employers and workpeople are represented on all the local employment committees which assist the placing work of the Department.
§ Mr. OLIVERAre these arrangements subsequent to the Act of 1930?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThey have developed since.
