HC Deb 22 June 1921 vol 143 cc1385-6W
Mr. BROMFIELD

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that people who reside in North Manchester, Harpurhey, Blackley, and Cheetham Hill have to travel some distance to the nearest employment exchange, the people in Blackley having to travel three miles to Newton Heath; and whether he will consider the possibility of establishing an exchange in the Harpurhey district?

Dr. MACNAMARA

I am not satisfied on the facts and figures before me that there is a case for providing additional local office facilities for the North Man Chester district, but I am arranging for further inquiries to be made involving a detailed analysis of the live registers at the Manchester, Newton Heath, and Middleton Employment Exchanges, and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
