asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware of the unsuitable nature of the Employment Exchange premises at Salkeld Street, Glasgow; that these premises are an old grain store, with very bad lavatory accommodation, heating, ventilation, and lighting; and that there are various premises near by which could be taken in substitution; and what steps he proposes to take, in the interests of the health of the staff, to provide more suitable accommodation?

Yes, Sir. The Salkeld Street premises are purely temporary, and were taken pending the ac- quisition of a permanent building for this Exchange. Negotiations for permanent premises are actively in hand.
