HC Deb 18 June 1924 vol 174 c2116
68. Major HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Health what steps, if any, have been taken by his Department to utilise qualified men employed in the dockyard at Devonport for the purpose of relieving the housing shortage; and, if none, whether he will consult the Admiralty with a view to utilising such labour as exists in the borough for the purpose?

Mr. WHEATLEY

No steps have been taken in the direction suggested by the hon. Member. The qualified men employed in the dockyard at Devonport are understood to be not in excess of requirements for Admiralty works.
