§ 51. Dr. LEECHasked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the unfilled demand for girls, women, and boys to perform household duties at good wages in the Metropolitan residential area which will be increased by the influx of visitors to hotels and restaurants during the coming year, he will ask local authorities in South Wales and on the North-East Coast to organise a public active recruiting campaign to train and transfer suitable persons to the home counties from the distressed areas?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADI would refer my hon. Friend to the answers given to the hon. Member for Farnham (Sir A. M. Samuel) on 19th and 26th November, 1936.
§ Miss WILKINSONHas anything been done to have a close investigation into the conditions to which these girls go?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADWe always have that under review, but, as I pointed out recently, it would be a great advantage if people would get these positions through the medium of the exchanges, so that the conditions could be more or less guaranteed.
