§ 84. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Minister of Health why he has agreed to an increase in test work for men seeking relief from the Hull guardians?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe slight increase in the hours adopted by the guardians was part of a general reorganisation of test work which appeared to me to be an improvement on previous arrangements.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this increased test work is particularly onerous on dock labourers in view of the hours it imposes and the times they have to seek work, and is creating hardship for these men, and will he have the matter looked into again?
§ Mr. GREENWOODAs I have already promised to meet the right hon. and gallant Gentleman on this matter, I hardly think it is necessary to occupy the time of the House in discussing it now.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that if he looked into the matter more carefully before approving such increases of test work, none of our time would be wasted?
§ Captain GUNSTONIs stone breaking included in this test work?
§ Mr. GREENWOODNot so far as I am aware.
