§ Mr. BARNESasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware of the hardship caused to dock workers living in South-East Ham, Manor Park, and Barking owing to the Regulation which compels them to sign on at North Woolwich twice a day; whether he can state if arrangements have been made for similar men living at Leyton and Ilford to sign on the second time at their local Employment Exchange; and, if so, why this facility cannot be extended to those resident in the first-mentioned districts?
§ Mr. SHAWAs I promised, in my reply to the hon. Member on 5th March, I have considered this matter, and on the evidence at present before me, I am not satisfied that a good case exists for any departure from the existing arrangements
