HC Deb 13 February 1919 vol 112 cc263-4
44. Colonel W. THORNE

asked the Minister of Labour if a number of protest meetings have been held at Chepstow, and have passed resolutions against the sale of the shipyards in that district; if the same people have protested against the Government giving out contracts for the erection of cottages to contractors on a percentage basis rather than under the direct, control and management of local governing bodies; and if he intends taking any action on the question?

Mr. WARDLE

This is not a matter which has come before the Ministry of Labour. Perhaps my hon. Friend would repeat the question, and put it to the Ministry of Shipping one day next week.
