HC Deb 12 February 1924 vol 169 c725
31. Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can give an undertaking to the House that the proviso shall be abolished in unemployment relief schemes under direct labour whereby only 75 per cent. of the trade union or district rate of wages may be paid to so-called unskilled labour on work which is normally regarded as unskilled?

Mr. SHAW

This point is under consideration, and a decision has not yet been reached.
