HC Deb 19 October 1909 vol 12 cc268-9W
Mr. REES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Committee of Selection will receive instructions to appoint as far as may be local candidates in connection with Welsh Labour Exchanges in order that persons speaking Welsh and acquainted with the districts may be selected?

Mr. TENNANT

No definite instructions of the kind suggested by the hon. Member will be issued to the Committee of Selection. Familiarity with any special local conditions will, however, naturally be one of the points borne in mind in allocating officers to the various districts.
