HC Deb 06 July 1937 vol 326 cc179-80
54. Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is now in a position to make a statement as to the formation of a site company in Lancashire?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. Butler)

I am not in a position to make a definite statement at the present moment.

Mr. Davies

Can the hon. Gentleman give us any indication of when a start will be made on the lines suggested in my question?

Mr. Butler

I have every reason to hope that I shall be able to say something definite before very long.

Mr. Davies

Is the hon. Gentleman in a position to give us any indication of what "very long" means?
