HC Deb 08 October 1924 vol 177 c578W
Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Labour how many men have been procured employment through the Employment Exchanges who have been discharged from Woolwich Arsenal and Dockyard since 1st February last?

Mr. SHAW

Records are not kept in such a manner as to give the number of men placed in employment after their discharge by a particular employer, and I regret that the figures desired could not he supplied without detailed inquiries involving considerable expense. I may say, however, that the total number of men placed in employment by the Woolwich Employment Exchange between 5th February and 29th September is 2,404.
