§ 44. Captain CUNNINGHAM-REIDasked the Minister of Labour how many Employment Exchanges have been set up to deal only with the workers in one industry, on the lines of that in Denmark Street, W.C.; whether experience has proved the provision of Employment Exchanges upon the basis of industries rather than districts to be satisfactory; and, if so, if it is intended to extend this system?
Mr. HUDSONTwo such Exchanges are in existence; the one mentioned by my hon. and gallant Friend and the other in Tavistock Street for the building trades in the Central London area. My right hon. Friend does not contemplate the establishment of further specialised Exchanges at present, but he, is keeping the matter under review having regard to the notable success achieved by the experiment referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend.
