HC Deb 15 June 1939 vol 348 c1478
14. Mr. Day

asked the Minister of Labour whether the working drawings for the proposed new Employment Exchange for the Borough of Southwark have been completed, and when it is proposed to commence work on same?

Mr. E. Brown

I would refer the hon. Member to the replies given to his questions of 4th May and 8th June last.

Mr. E. Smith

Has the right hon. Gentleman seen the conditions at the present exchange? If not, will he take an early opportunity of inspecting it, because if he does I am confident that he will expedite the construction of the new one.

Mr. Brown

I know about the exchange and I am doing my best in the matter.

Mr. Day

Can the Minister say when he expects that the new exchange will be opened?

Mr. Brown

I hope the staff will be at work there before the end of the year.

Mr. Day

Cannot the present inconveniences be temporarily remedied?
