§ 15. Mr. John Morganasked the Minister of Labour how he accounts for the rise of about 10 per cent. in the number of persons unemployed in the Doncaster area during November; and what steps he proposes to take to deal with so unsatisfactory a state of affairs at such a time as the present?
§ Mr. E. BrownI am having inquiry made and will communicate with the hon. Member.
§ Mr. MorganIf as a result of the inquiry he finds that at railway works which are working on short time, wagons are badly wanted, will he make representations to the Minister of Transport?
§ Mr. BrownIt is on the short time problem that I am making inquiries. There is no problem when there is full-time employment.
§ Mr. T. SmithIn the case of short time in the collieries, will the right hon. Gentleman consult the Secretary of Mines to see whether some improvement can be made?
