§ 48. Mr. Lawsonasked the Prime Minister which Department or committee is considering what measures should be taken to provide employment when the output of rearmament factories begins to be relaxed?
§ The Prime MinisterThe subject does not fall wholly within the purview of any single Department. Arrangements have been made for the question to be studied by officials of the Departments mainly concerned.
§ Mr. LawsonDo I understand from the right hon. Gentleman that there is some specific policy on the part of the Government to prepare measures such as he mentioned in the event of tension arising from rearmament?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir, I did not quite say that, because we have not quite come to that point. I said that the question was being studied and in the light of that study. and when it is completed, that point will have to be decided afterwards.
