Brigadier-General Brownasked the Minister of Labour how many agricultural labourers were registered as unemployed on the last convenient date; and what steps are taken at agricultural Employment Exchanges to notify farmers of men available for employment in agriculture?
§ Mr. E. BrownAt 14th March, 1938, there were 22,116 insured men and boys, aged 14–64, in the farming, forestry, etc., industry classification recorded as unemployed at Employment Exchanges in Great Britain. By means of publicity or by letter or personal visit, farmers are invited to inform the Employment Exchanges of their requirements for agricultural workers so that the vacancies can be brought to the notice of suitable persons on the registers.
