§ Mr. KELLYI wish to raise point in regard to the apportioning of the expenses for these buildings. Although I find it is included in the Act of 1935, and I believe it began under the Economy Bill of 1931, it seems a very strange procedure that a portion of the cost of these Employment Exchanges should be taken out of the. contributions paid for the purpose of benefit. I doubt very much whether those who have been burdened with the repayment of the heavy debt and by the taking away of their benefits during recent years realise that a portion of their contributions goes for the erection, of new exchanges.
