Mr. PIKE

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that Mr. R. W. Taylor, of Sheffield, aged 43 years, who volunteered to fill a vacancy open for a plasterer, was told by the official of the Employment Exchange, Corn Exchange, Sheffield, that he was too old, as a man of 18 years was required; and whether special instructions are given to officials to select men of certain ages?

Sir H. BETTERTON

I am making inquiries, and will let my hon. Friend know the result.
