§ 52. Sir C. RAWSONasked the Minister of Labour what action she proposes to take with regard to the resolution passed at a meeting of ratepayers at Brighton on the 14th of June, and sent to her by them, protesting against men being transferred from other areas to Brighton to carry out work, so that the Brighton unemployed should have the opportunity of doing this work?
§ Mr. LAWSONMy right hon. Friend has received the resolution referred to. She does not propose to take any action in the matter.
§ Sir C. RAWSONWill the hon. Member say why not?
§ Mr. LAWSONI have investigated this matter very closely, and I am sure that the meeting was not a representative meeting; and I am also sure that the hon. and gallant Member would agree with me if he knew the whole of the facts.
§ Sir C. RAWSONI do not agree.
