§ 5. Mr. BANFIELDasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the 238 work performed by unemployed men under the voluntary scheme at Bilston is part of a housing scheme prepared by the Bilston Town Council, and that 40 acres of this same estate has already been levelled and 90 men employed for some months at the trade union rate of wages; and whether he will make further inquiries into the whole matter in order to ensure that these unemployed men shall not be exploited?
§ Sir H. BETTERTONI have no information on the first part of the question. The conditions of the scheme have already been explained to the hon. Member, and I cannot agree that there is any exploitation of those who attend.
