§ Captain Kerbyasked the Minister of Labour (1) if he will arrange for every regional employment exchange to make a return showing how many registered unemployed on its books are unemployable, and why they are unemployable;
(2) for what reason, and at what cost, persons who are unemployable are entered upon an employment register.
§ Mr. GreenIt is not in practice possible for our officers to isolate a category of unemployable persons, especially since the views of employers differ widely. I regret therefore that we are unable to arrange for the return suggested or provide the estimate asked for by my. hon. ad gallant Friend.
