§ 58. Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Minister of Labour whether he is now in a position to report as to the progress made in the negotiations for co-operative work between employers and representatives of employés in the building trade to facilitate schemes for housing?
§ 81. Lord E. PERCYasked the Minister of Health when he expects to be able to make a statement of the results of the recent conferences with the building trade; and whether, in the event of an agreement being reached with regard to a future building programme, he will circulate the text of any such agreement before he makes his statement?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI have been asked to reply. The negotiations with the building trade are being expedited as much as possible, but I am unable at the moment to state when I shall be able to make a statement on the subject. I will consider the suggestion made in the last part of the Noble Lord's question.
