§ 7. Mr. BANFIELDasked the Minister of Labour whether he has considered the representations made to his Department from the Darlaston Urban District Council, asking that suitable arrangements should be made to ensure that persons attending at employment exchanges and waiting there could do so under shelter from inclement weather and away from public view; and what steps, if any, he proposes to take?
Mr. STANLEYI have considered this resolution. It is not usually necessary, however, for applicants to have to wait outside employment exchanges for any length of time, if they attend at the time previously indicated, and no provision of the kind mentioned is normally made. If the hon. Member has any particular case in mind I shall be glad to look into it.
