§ Mr. HOPKINasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that unemployed persons at Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, have to walk to St. Clears, a distance of five miles, to sign, and that they have to walk 20 miles a week in all; and will he make inquiries to see if some other and better arrangements can be made for the unemployed persons of Laugharne?
§ Mr. E. BROWNA new office has recently been opened in this district at St. Clears, which is the most convenient spot for the majority of workpeople in the area. I am not at present satisfied that an office is necessary at Laugharne also, but the present arrangements are subject to review. I should point out that claimants from Laugharne are, in view of the distance, not required to sign more than once a week.
