§ 6. Mr. Kirbyasked the Minister of Labour how many young persons were transferred from Liverpool to Birmingham during the year 1936 for the purpose of taking up employment under arrangements made by his Department?
§ Mr. E. BrownThe transfer of juveniles under 18 years of age from Liverpool to Birmingham is arranged by the Liverpool and Birmingham local education authorities in co-operation with the Ministry of Labour, as both authorities exercise choice of employment powers under Section 81 of Unemployment Insurance Act, 1935. During 1936 278 boys and four girls were transferred from the area of the Liverpool education authority to that of the Birmingham education authority under the facilities provided by the Juvenile Transference Scheme.
§ Mr. KirbyIn thanking the Minister for his reply, may I ask him if he will be good enough to let me have details of any other young persons under 18 who have been sent from Liverpool under the schemes which have been arranged?
§ Mr. BrownThere are many people who go und[...]r other schemes of which we have no knowledge, but, if the hon. Member has any individual case in mind, I shall be very glad to look into it.
