Office Facilities, Borrowash

HC Deb 20 March 1958 vol 584 cc171-2W

Mr. Champion

asked the Minister of Labour if, having regard to the increase in short-time working in the area, he will reopen the Borrowash, Derbyshire, employment exchange.

Mr. Iain Macleod

No. The number of short-time workers from the Borrowash area claiming unemployment benefit at a recent date does not, in my opinion, make this step necessary. I will, however, keep the position under review.
