§ 80. Commander BELLAIRSasked the Minister of Health whether he has received any representations from the building unions or any other unions concerning the imports of large quantities of Russian timber which have been cut by compulsory sweated labour and, if so, whether he can state the nature of the representations, and the action which the Government intends to take?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINNo such representations have been received by my Department. The last part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. MONTAGUEDoes the Minister not consider that the words which have been introduced into this question rather beg the question?
§ Mr. JOHNSTONArising out of the original answer℄
§ Mr. SPEAKERThere cannot be anything arising out of nothing.
§ Mr. JOHNSTONHas the right hon. Gentleman received any representation about sweated labour on home timber?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThat question must be put down on the Paper.
