HC Deb 29 June 1939 vol 349 c645W
Sir N. Grattan-Doyle

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will obtain information as to the numbers of girls and women under 20 years of age, included and registered each month as unemployed, who have refused training and transfer to permanent and seasonal employment, with satisfactory wages and conditions as domestic workers in private residences and in residential hotels and boarding houses?

Mr. E. Browne

Whilst opportunities for training and employment as domestic workers in private residences and in residential hotels and boarding houses are regularly brought to the notice of all suitable unemployed female applicants, the available statistics do not show how many have refused to avail themselves of such opportunities.
