§ 76. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Minister of Labour what progress has been made with the provision of employment for British subjects expelled from Egypt, and by what means; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Iain Macleod1,100 of these British subjects have so far been registered for employment. My local officers have placed 200 of them with various employers, some others have found jobs through friends and relations, and 770 are still awaiting suitable employment. The full facilities of the employment exchange service have been made available to these people, and, in addition, I have made a personal appeal to employers on their behalf which is being followed up in many areas by special approaches from Employment Exchange managers.
