§ Mr. N. MACLEANasked the Minister of Labour whether he will state the reasons why he will not give to unemployed persons in Govan and Glasgow the advantages which are given to the unemployed in other areas by Leaflet E.D.L. 29, 1935, which deals with the payment of travelling and removal expenses?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADThe areas to which the facilities set forth in the leaflet E.D.L. 29 apply are mainly those dependent on coal mining and certain other basic industries which have suffered from a prolonged period of depression. These facilities have not been extended to large cities such as Glasgow, where, 1847W although unemployment is severe, there is a variety of industries affording numerous opportunities of employment.
