54. Major NEWMANasked the Lord Privy Seal whether the War Cabinet has considered the ambiguity of the term "working classes," as embodied in several measures now before Parliament; and will he say who are the working classes in this country?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIn the measures now before Parliament the term "working classes" is, so far as I am aware, used only in connection with housing. In this connection the term has been used without definition in previous legislation and the absence of a definition has never caused practical inconvenience.
§ Mr. BONAR LAWIf the hon. Member has an opportunity of pressing the point, I have no doubt he will.
