§ 40. Mr. LOGANasked the Minister of Labour what arrangement has he made with Cammell, Laird, and Company, Birkenhead, to take a proportion of unemployed craftsmen and labourers from Liverpool to build aircraft-carrier His Majesty's Ship "Ark Royal"?
Mr. HUDSONI have no doubt that, in engaging men for this work, the company will give full consideration to the applications of qualified men from all Merseyside districts, but I do not think that it would be practicable to arrange for the engagement of a fixed proportion of men from a particular area.
§ Mr. LOGANThe question that I asked was whether any arrangement could be made; and I am anxious to know whether arrangements can be made on the Merseyside and Liverpool with regard to this particular allocation of work?
Mr. HUDSONI said in my reply that no doubt the Company will give due consideration to qualified men on the Merseyside.
