HC Deb 16 July 1929 vol 230 cc197-8
19. Mr. EDMUNDS

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will consider the advisability of appointing a committee to investigate the possibility of alternative work being carried on in the national workshops and yards, especially Pembroke dockyard?

Mr. THOMAS

This matter is under consideration by the Government. As at present advised I do not think a Committee is necessary.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what the Government propose to do?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

May I submit that this point does arise directly out of the question of alternative work being provided?

Mr. SPEAKER

I do not think that point arises out of the question.
