HC Deb 28 January 1931 vol 247 c991W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Labour if anything has been decided regarding alternative accommodation for the Erith Employment Exchange; whether any plans are in hand for a permanent building; and whether these will include shelter for applicants?

Mr. LAWSON

An offer of alternative temporary accommodation is at present under consideration. Pending this consideration, plans for a permanent building would be premature.

Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Labour if she is aware of the need for an Employment Exchange to cater for workers of both sexes at Crayford, Welling, Bexley Heath, Barnehurst, and Bexley; and whether, in view of the rapid growth of this area and the approaching end of the tenure at Erith, she will consider this need?

Mr. LAWSON

I am having inquiry made, and will communicate with my hon. Friend.
