§ 59. Mr. LUMLEYasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that a dispute between the plumbers and the heating engineers has held up the erection of a large number of houses on the East Hull housing site for some weeks; and whether, in view of the fact that it is in the public interest that these houses should be erected as soon as possible, he will endeavour to effect a settlement of this dispute?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. Betterton)I am aware of the dispute to which my hon. Friend refers, and my Department is in touch with the organisations concerned with a view to promoting a settlement.
