§ 65. Mr. Erringtonasked the Minister of Labour whether he has made representations to all parties concerned in the construction of the balloon barrage depot at Fazakerley, Liverpool, as to the desirability of labour being recruited from the local Employment Exchanges; and whether he will state the result of such representations?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. Lennox-Boyd)Yes, Sir, and as the result of these representations a further 32 vacancies have been notified to the Employment Exchange since 8th March last. Thirty-five applicants were submitted from the local register to these vacancies, and 22 workpeople were placed as the result. I am having further inquiries made as to the source from which the remaining 10 workpeople came, and will let my hon. Friend know the result as soon as possible.
