HC Deb 19 February 1953 vol 511 c155W
85. Mr. Braine

asked the Minister of Labour to what extent the placing services of his Department have been able to meet the special demands created in the flooded areas.

Sir W. Monckton

I am glad to say that the employment exchanges have successfully met the labour requirements notified to them, and during the last fortnight have supplied about 4,500 workers for employment in connection with the flood damage.
