§ Mr. DEVLINasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that a number of girl workers employed in Nesbitt's overall and apron-stitching firm, York Street, Belfast, were dismissed on the 28th April last because of slackness of work; whether, on application at the Belfast Labour Exchange, these girls were sent to a shirt-making factory, which work did not suit them; whether the girls have since April last been signing up at the Labour Exchange, but, so far, no out-of-work money has been paid to them; and whether he will now take steps to have the unemployment grant paid to them?
§ Sir R. HORNEI am causing inquiries to be made into the matter, and will let the hon. Member know the result as soon as possible.
