§ 7. Mr. W. H. GREENasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that it is the practice in certain employment exchanges to ignore names on the dead register when sending applicants after employment, and selecting only those from the live register; and will he 580 take steps to see that those whose names are on the dead register have fair consideration?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADI assume that the hon. Member is referring, not to the dead register which contains records of persons who have ceased to be applicants for employment, but to persons on the non-claimant; register who are not in receipt of insurance benefit or un- 581 employment allowances. The latter are included in the live register and are considered according to their qualifications, with others on the register, when selection is made for vacancies notified.
