HC Deb 06 June 1935 vol 302 cc2017-8
1. Mr. KENNETH LINDSAY

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that tile-workers in the neighbourhood of Kilmarnock, who are working for nine months in the year, are now classed as seasonal workers; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?

The MINISTER of LABOUR (Mr. Oliver Stanley)

I am making inquiries and will communicate with my hon. Friend.

Mr. LINDSAY

Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind, in his inquiries, that a number of workmen in the building trades are only working nine months in the year and are not classed as seasonal workers?

Mr. STANLEY

I think we had better await the result of the inquiries.
