HC Deb 11 April 1911 vol 24 c434W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will advise the Port of London Authority to establish Labour Exchanges outside the various docks in London, and at the same time terminate the arrangements whereby the Shipping Federation and Free Labour Associations are allowed offices for employing men inside the dock premises?

Mr. TENNANT

The matters referred to in the question are entirely within the discretion of the Port Authority, but, as my right hon. Friend has previously stated, the Board of Trade are at present in communication with the Authority with regard to the establishment of Labour Exchanges in the port.
