§ 4. Mr. GLOSSOPasked the Minister of Labour if he will consider the opening of a temporary Employment Exchange at Oughtibridge, near Sheffield, for the period of the winter months, in view of the long distance which the unemployed have to cover to attend the nearest Employment Exchange?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI am having inquiries made regarding the local circumstances at Oughtibridge, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend in due course.
§ Mr. GLOSSOPWill the right hon. Gentleman further consider this question, when he will realise that there is now an additional hardship on the unemployed owing to the action of the traffic commissioners in restricting services and increasing fares?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI will take all those facts into consideration.
