§ 18. Major Procterasked the Minister of Labour the number of families who have been transferred during 1936 from the Accrington Parliamentary division to other areas under the provisions of the Government's transference schemes?
§ Mr. E. BrownExact information is not available, but it appears that during the year 1936 approximately 120 families were assisted to remove from the Accrington Parliamentary division to other areas under the Department's industrial transference scheme.
§ Major ProcterIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is strong resentment in Lancashire against our skilled workers going to the South? Would it be possible for him to consult his colleagues with a view to getting factories transferred to places in Lancashire rather than to those districts where there is no unemployment?
§ Mr. BrownThat is always our desire, but there is also a strong feeling that work should be found for unemployed people.
