HC Deb 10 April 1930 vol 237 cc2360-1
64. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Health whether the inspectors appointed by him to look into the conditions of test work made personal inspections throughout the country and took evidence of those actually engaged on test work?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The answer is in the affirmative.

65. Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to issue an Order laying down that test work shall not consist of stone-breaking or stone-shifting or other similar work?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave him on the 30th January last.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Are we to understand that the right hon. Gentleman does not propose to issue any order on these lines?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The hon. Member must understand nothing; he must understand that he repeatedly puts the same Question.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that it is because of his answers to this question that I do understand nothing?

Sir K. WOOD

Does the right hon. Gentleman remember how he called those who sat on that side of the House in the last Government, murderers? How does he describe his own position at the present time?
