§ Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLEasked the Minister of Labour what is the type of written instructions which the insurance officers will give to any unemployed men seeking work; and whether these will refer only to calls at specified factories where vacancies are likely to occur or whether they will deal with the need for men making personal examination of the advertisement columns of the papers and general inquiry in all local circles where employment may be forthcoming?
§ Miss BONDFIELDI presume the hon. Member has in mind the provision contained in Clause 4 of the Unemployment Insurance Bill. The nature of the written directions to be given by officers of the Employment Exchanges will depend on the circumstances of each ease. The new Clause indicates that they must be reasonable, having regard both to the circumstances of the claimant and to the means of obtaining the employment in question usually adopted in the district in which the claimant resides.
