Arrangements for paying unemployment benefit at cotton mills are made only when the pressure of work at the local office is such as to prevent the adoption of the ordinary procedure. A number of such arrangements are still in force in the cotton districts. I am not aware of any cases in which considerable numbers of persons are compelled to stand in the street in consequence of the lack of accommodation at the local office, but if my hon. Friend can furnish particulars I will have inquiry made, and will endeavour to remove the grievance if such exists.
