§ 14. Mr. Kellyasked the Minister of Labour the conditions of wages and working for the men, women, and young persons employed in the hotels in London, particularly those in the Park Lane area and the Strand; and whether the Employment Exchange in Denmark Street, London, engages in placing people in employment at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane, and Savoy Hotels?
§ Mr. ButlerI am not in a position to give the particulars asked for in the first part of this question. The answer to the second part of the question is in the affirmative.
§ Mr. KellyIn view of the answer to the second part of the question and the placing of people in employment at these particular hotels in London, is the 536 Employment Exchange aware of the conditions to which it is sending these people when placing them in employment there?
§ Mr. ButlerI should have to make inquiries, but I presume the exchange is aware of all these matters.
§ Mr. KellyWill the hon. Gentleman conduct an investigation into this matter in order to find out whether 7s. 6d. to 175. a week is an adequate wage for a man at these swagger hotels?
