§ Miss BONDFIELDDuring the present year, 159 women from the Willenhall Employment Exchange have been offered domestic employment at the seaside, and 30 of these were placed. Five of the 30 women have returned home. In one case I do not yet know the reason, and in three of the remaining four there were allegations that the conditions were unsatisfactory, or that the situation was not suitable. Married women are not normally offered resident domestic service away from home.
