§ Sir Richard Glynasked the Minister of Labour how many employment exchanges in the London area were notified during January by local authorities that they were seeking labour to clean streets of snow and ice; what was the average rate of pay offered; and to what degree they were able to satisfy the demand by notifying unemployed men.
§ Mr. HareDuring January, 35 of the 64 employment exchanges in the Greater London area were notified by 55 local authorities of demands for labour for snow clearance. The average rate of pay was about 5s. per hour and the exchanges were able to meet all the demands made on them from the unemployed registers.
