Letter from Sir Hubert Llewellyn Smith ([Permanent Secretary to the] Board of Trade) to WSC commenting on the syllabus [?of the National Conference on the Prevention of Destitution] and stressing that nothing should be said to throw doubt on the Government's assurances that labour exchanges are voluntary. He does not think that the conference will be a suitable place to expound the Government's unemployment insurance scheme in detail. Reports that labour exchanges are thriving in Lancashire.
