§ Mr. Mainwaringasked the Minister of Labour whether, having regard to the possible demand for unemployed persons to accept offers of employment at some distance from their homes, and the fact that the Industrial Transference Scheme has been suspended, and no provision is now available for assistance in the removal of the homes and families of unemployed persons, he will have the whole situation reviewed in order to provide the required assistance?
§ Mr. E. BrownThe ordinary arrangements for an advance of fare to a worker who obtains work beyond daily travelling distance from his home are available for all. The facilities which were available under the peace-time industrial transference scheme are still available in suitable cases for those who complete a course of training at a Government training centre. Special arrangements have been made for assisting the movement of dock workers and others whose services in an emergency may be required away from home. The question of providing such facilities in appropriate cases remains constantly under review.
