§ 48. Mr. William Wellsasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether, in view of the extent of unemployment in Walsall and throughout the West Midlands, he will consider reopening the Bloxwich Employment Exchange.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithFacilities in Walsall are shortly to be improved by the opening of a new employment office, in Baynard House, Lichfield Street, which should greatly ease the situation in the exsiting exchange. We do not propose opening an outhouse at Bloxwich, but, should the new employment office fail to provide the expected relief, consideration will be given to an additional benefit office at Aldridge.
