§ 63. Sir W. SUGDENasked the Minister of Labour if he will issue instructions to the group officers and dealing, amongst other districts, with the unemployed in Leyton, Essex, that exact details be made available for the assistance of Leyton employés and other persons interested in finding such employment, particularly for those in their own town?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. R. S. Hudson)I regret I do not quite understand the point which my lion. Friend has in mind. Perhaps he will be good enough to speak to me or to my right hon. Friend.
§ 67. Sir W. SUGDENasked the Minister of Labour if he will have some alteration at small cost made to the structure at Leyton, to enable the unemployed queues to be under shelter whilst awaiting the attention of his local officials?
§ Mr. HUDSONAt the Leyton exchange, as elsewhere, a timing system is arranged in order to avoid undue waiting. I am assured that if applicants attending the Leyton exchange would observe the timing system there should be no need for them to wait outside the building.
§ Sir W. SUGDENDoes not my hon. Friend know that the structure is such an obsolete and archaic sort of building that unless something is done there will be difficulties in regard to the condition of the health of the men themselves?
§ Mr. HUDSONI think that if the men would observe the time arrangements there would be no need to wait outside because there is room inside. What happens is that they come before their time and have to wait outside.
§ Sir W. SUGDENWill my hon. Friend do me the honour of paying a visit there so as to see for himself the general conditions which obtain at the Leyton employment exchange?
