§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Minister of Labour whether he has considered the resolution passed by the Greenock Cooperative Party protesting against sending unemployed girls from Greenock to work in England, a copy of which was forwarded to him with a covering letter by the secretary; and whether he has any statement to make on the subject?
§ Mr. BevinI have received a resolution on this subject from the Greenock Trades Council and Labour Party, but not, so far as I can trace, from the Greenock Co-operative Party. Full account of the circumstances is taken in every case, but I could not consistently with my responsibilities agree to the proposition that employment in England is in no circumstances suitable for persons of Scottish nationality.
