HC Deb 22 June 1931 vol 254 c44W
Mr. LLOYD

asked the Minister of Labour whether she is aware that large numbers of unemployed persons have to wait in the open street in all kinds of weather when attending at the Unemployment Exchange in Westgate Street, Cardiff, to draw their unemployment benefit; and whether she will take steps to improve the accommodation at this Exchange so as to provide shelter for these persons while waiting?

Mr. LAWSON

If the men claimants attending the Employment Exchange in Westgate Street, Cardiff, would observe the timing system, there should be no need for them to wait in the street. I am satisfied, after inquiry, that the existing accommodation is sufficient.
