Mr. BOWER MANasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can state how many workmen have been engaged by the Admiralty through the various Labour Exchanges?
§ Mr. McKENNAI do not think that the data are in existence which would enable me to answer the hon. Member's question, but in any case the shortness of the notice he has given me has precluded me from making inquiry into the matter.
§ Mr. REESasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he proposes to establish a sub-office of Labour Exchanges at Newtown, situated in the middle of the central county of Wales, upon the high road from Shrewsbury to the Welsh coast, and upon the main line of traffic from North to South Wales?
Mr. BUXTONI regret that I am unable to add anything to the answer which I gave to a question addressed to me by my hon. Friend on March 30, relative to the opening of Labour Exchanges in Central Wales. Until further experience of the working of the system has been obtained I am not prepared to say what further Exchanges, if any, will be required in Wales.
