§ Mr. VINCENT KENNEDYasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will say how many managers, assistant managers, and clerks have been appointed in connection with Labour Exchanges in Ireland; were inquiries made as to their antecedents; and, if so, how many are Irish, and have they been resident permanently in Ireland prior to 1910?
Mr. BUXTONSix managers, two deputy-managers, sixteen clerks, and seven messenger-clerks have been appointed to Labour Exchanges in Ireland. The usual inquiries were made as to the candidates before they received their appointments. I believe that all the above-mentioned officials are Irish, and all, with two exceptions, were resident in Ireland at the time of their appointments.
