HC Deb 03 August 1910 vol 19 cc2759-60W
Mr. HUGH LAW

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state what arrangements are made under the Labour Exchanges Act to inform Irish migratory labourers of the state of the labour market in Great Britain and of the district in which their services are at any given moment most required and best remunerated?

Mr. BUXTON

It has not been possible to make any special arrangements on the lines indicated by the hon. Member during the present year, but the matter is under careful consideration.

Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state in the monthly Returns issued in connection with the Labour Exchanges, how many men of over 40 years of age have been successful in finding employment?

Mr. BUXTON

I regret that it would not be possible to supply the information asked for by my hon. Friend. Applicants are not required to state their age.
