HC Deb 25 February 1926 vol 192 cc742-3W
Mr. SCRYMGEOUR

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in the case of men sent by the Dundee Employment Exchange to work on the Perth-Inverness Road, arrangements can be made to improve the accommodation, including the provision of sanitary facilities, and increasing the number of cooking utensils; and whether the Exchange will refrain from sending men over 50 years of age, and arrange to allow men suspended from work through bad weather conditions, etc., to claim unemployment benefit accordingly?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

As I promised the other hon. Member for Dundee on the 17th February, I am having full inquiry made into the question of the accommodation provided and the conditions under which men work on the Perth-Inverness Road. I will let both hon. Members know the result as soon as possible.
