HC Deb 08 March 1932 vol 262 c1628
38. Mr. MANDEB

asked the Minister of Labour whether Employment Exchanges are authorised by his Department to refuse a green card to a man who has found work for himself?

Mr. HUDSON

The "green card" is an introduction from the Exchange to the prospective employer and signifies that the person named on it has been selected by the Exchange for submission for a particular vacancy. My hon. Friend will see therefore that the card cannot be given to anyone who has not been so selected.
