§ 22. Mr. SUGDENasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will grant to those Government contractors, who in the majority of cases have not been granted such extra cost, the extra costs incurred on such contracts as were entered into before the shortening of hours of labour in certain engineering trades, and which in the majority of cases represent an extra minimum cost of 11 per cent, on production, having in mind the fact that such contracts are subject to costings investigation by the Government Departments concerned?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI would suggest that my hon. Friend should address this question to the particular Departments, concerned.
