§ Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSONasked the Minister of Labour whether there is any clearing-house arrangement in London and the surrounding districts under the Labour Exchanges system whereby persons who cannot obtain employment in any one locality may get an opportunity of obtaining it elsewhere?
§ Sir R. HORNEYes. Particulars of applicants for employment and of unsatisfied demands for labour at Employment Exchanges are notified to a clearing house, where action is taken to put applicants, for whom local employment is not available, in touch with vacancies in other districts. This arrangement is operative, not only in London and the surrounding districts, but throughout the United Kingdom.
