HC Deb 22 July 1937 vol 326 c2387
28. Mr. Kelly

asked the Minister of Labour the number of men, women, boys, and girls placed in employment by the Denmark Street Exchange for work in hotels in London?

Mr. E. Brown

The number of persons placed in employment in London and elsewhere by the Denmark Street Exchange since December, 1930, when the exchange was opened, to the end of 1936 is as follows: 71,150 men, 89,579 women, 19,266 boys and 8,126 girls. I regret that separate particulars relating to hotels in London are not available.

Mr. Kelly

In view of the numbers placed, will the right hon. Gentleman ascertain what the conditions of work and wages are to which these people are sent?

Mr. Brown

I am hoping to enter into discussions with the catering trade.
