§ 50. Sir E. CORNWALLasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that numbers of men are still being employed in the construction of new railways, harbour works, reservoirs, public works, and buildings; whether he is aware that the reason for this is that there is no war legislation providing for the temporary cessation of these works on equitable legal terms; and whether the Government propose to take any steps in the matter?
§ Mr. PRETYMANIf my hon. Friend will give me particulars of any work of this character which he considers unnecessary I will look into the matter.
