HC Deb 16 February 1939 vol 343 c1916W
Mr. MacNeill Weir

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware of the need for provision being made to enable unemployed workers at Larbert and Stenhousemuir to sign the unemployment register in their own towns instead of, as at present, having to travel to Falkirk; and what action he proposes to take?

Mr. E. Brown

Unemployed persons from Larbert and Stenhousemuir are required to attend the Falkirk Exchange twice weekly only. Good transport facilities are available and the number of unemployed has fallen substantially in recent years. I regret that I should not feel justified in providing separate facilities at these villages.
