§ 28. Mr. SHINWELLasked the Minister of Labour whether, during the period of the Coronation festivities, he will cause arrangements to be made so that unemployed persons and their families shall have sufficient food and comforts consistent with the occasion?
§ Lieut. - Colonel MUIRHEADThe proper provision for the unemployed is a matter which will receive appropriate attention on this as on all other occasions.
§ Mr. SHINWELLDoes that mean that the Government intend to take no action whatever during Coronation week to render more tolerable the condition of these persons? Would not the knowledge that these persons were more properly cared for add lustre to the Coronation proceedings?
§ Lieut.-Colonel MUIRHEADI think that my answer covers the supplementary question.
