HC Deb 06 March 1963 vol 673 c52W
83. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Minister of Labour how many people from Oswaldtwistle and Church are having to travel to Accrington to register at the employment exchange.

Mr. Hare

On 14th February, 1963, 216 people from Oswaldtwistle and 88 from Church were registered at the Accrington Employment Exchange.

84. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Minister of Labour what consideration he has given to a resolution adopted by Accrington Employment Committee calling for a sub-office to be opened to deal with growing unemployment insurance claims in Oswaldtwistle; and what reply he has sent.

Mr. Hare

I have considered the resolution and a reply has been sent to the Accrington Local Employment Committee. I do not feel justified in opening a sub-office at Oswaldtwistle in present circumstances and the reply is to this effect.
