asked the President of the Board of Trade, if he will cause to be laid upon the Table of the House copies of the instructions to clerks in charge of Labour Exchanges respecting their differentiating between the tidily and untidily dressed unemployed workmen seeking employment, and for that purpose presenting themselves at Labour Exchanges to sign the unemployment register?

No instructions to the effect suggested in the question have been given, and I understand that it is not the practice of the Labour Exchanges to differentiate between unemployed workmen according to their dress, except of course in the comparatively few cases in which the type of vacancy notified by an employer is one for which suitable dress is a necessary qualification.
