HC Deb 17 March 1938 vol 333 cc570-1
25 and 26. Mr. J. J. Davidson

asked the Minister of Labour (1) the number of persons who have applied to the Employment Exchange at the Glasgow Empire Exhibition for employment and the number who have obtained employment;

(2) the number of men who have been dismissed from employment and the number of men who have started employment at the Glasgow Empire Exhibition work since January, 1938?

Mr. E. Brown

I am having inquiries made and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as possible.

Mr. Davidson

While making his inquiry, will the right hon. Gentleman ascertain whether the exchange at the Empire Exhibition is opened at the same hours as other exchanges in Glasgow, and will he bear in mind that there is great discontent among the workers there with regard to the dismissals of men over 40 years of age?

Mr. Brown

I have already started my inquiries, but I will add those two points.
