§ 84. Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Labour if he will give consideration to improving the present situation in respect of the employment, or the potentialities of employment of gypsies and other 56W travellers, on the lines which his Department developed during the Second World War to harness as far as possible the services of these people to the war effort, in view of the fact that those who do achieve the necessary skill and experience soon cease to be nomads and camp dwellers.
§ Mr. HareThe services of the employment exchanges are available to gypsies and other travellers who seek assistance in finding suitable employment, My officers co-operate closely with the National Assistance Board to ensure that these facilities are brought to the notice of persons without a settled way of living who use the reception centres provided by the Board under Section 17 of the National Assistance Act, 1948.
