asked the Minister of Labour whether he will state what is the procedure adopted at the Employment Exchange, Devonport, in respect to the entry of men in His Majesty's dockyards and naval establishments; whether he will explain why it is that men who have recently signed on are selected and placed in employment in preference to those who have been on the books of the Exchange for years; whether he is aware that in some cases men have been taken from civil employment and have been placed in His Majesty's dockyard; and whether he will take steps to see that in the selection of men for His Majesty's dockyard those men who have been longest unemployed and the most distressing cases should receive due consideration?
