§ 1. Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the fact that numbers of men have at times to stand outside in the rain while attending at the Walworth Road (Borough) Employment Exchange, he will consider 1916 whether some shelter can be afforded them during this waiting period in inclement weather?
§ The MINISTER of LABOUR (Mr. Ernest Brown)Applicants at the Borough Exchange are timed to attend at quarter hourly intervals, and, apart from quite exceptional circumstances, it should not be necessary for them to wait outside provided they attend at the time previously given to them. Perhaps the hon. Member will speak to me.
§ Mr. DAYWill the right hon. Gentleman consider having a canopy erected outside the Walworth Road (Borough) Employment Exchange to protect those waiting during inclement weather?
§ Mr. BROWNI shall be pleased if the hon. Member will speak to me about this so that we can discuss it.
