The Rev. LI. Williamsasked the Minister of Labour what representations he has received about the closing of the Blaina Employment Exchange; and what was his reply.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodRepresentations against the closing of Blaina Employment Exchange have been received from 90 residents in the area, and from the Monmouthshire County branch of the British Legion. The local employment committee also opposed my proposal to close this office. I have now decided to retain a part-time office at Blaina.
