114. Mr. W. Foster

asked the Minister of Labour, in view of the manpower problem, what steps are taken by his Department to place the many thousands of unemployed persons who have exhausted their unemployment benefit and are in receipt of unemployment allowances.

Mr. Isaacs

The aim of local offices is to place all persons who register for employment in suitable jobs as quickly as possible whatever their benefit or allowances position may be. Special attention is, of course, given to eases presenting particular difficulty and special methods of assistance are being developed.
