HC Deb 02 April 1936 vol 310 c2104
19. Mr. DAVIDSON

asked the Minister of Labour the total number of unemployed persons who attend at the Employment Exchange in the Maryhill division of Glasgow?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

At 24th February, 1936, there were 5,068 unemployed persons on the registers of the Maryhill Employment Exchange.

Mr. DAVIDSON

Is the hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that for the accommodation of those 5,000 unemployed people there is only a wooden hut in Maryhill, and will he therefore make inquiries with a view to setting up a decent building for them?

Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEAD

That, of course, is a separate question, but I will certainly make inquiries into the accommodation of that particular exchange.
