§ Mr. STEPHENasked the Minister of Labour, (1) the number of applications for uncovenanted benefit during the month of January at the Bridgeton Employment Exchange, the Parkhead Employment Exchange, the Partick Employment Exchange, the Govan Employment Exchange and the South Side Employment Exchange, Glasgow, and the total number of such applications refused in each case;
(2) the number of applications for uncovenanted benefit during each month, October, November and December, 11)23, at the Bridgeton Employment Exchange, the Partick Employment Exchange, the Govan Employment Exchange and the South Side Employment Exchange, Glasgow, and the number of such applications refused in each case on the ground that the applicant was not genuinely seeking whole-time employment?
§ Mr. SHAWI will, if I may, answer these two questions together. The only figures readily available relate to the applications for uncovenanted benefit referred to the Local Employment Committees for these areas.
