§ 17. Mr. Westwoodasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that housing schemes in Kirkcaldy and building schemes in Falkirk and elsewhere are being held up because of a dispute between joiners and plasterers on the question of fixing plaster-boards; and whether he is now in a position to state when the industrial court to inquire into this dispute is likely to start its work?
§ Mr. E. BrownI am aware of the position at Kirkcaldy and elsewhere. The Court of Inquiry which I recently set up to inquire into the dispute in connection with the fixing of certain patent boards opened its inquiry in Edinburgh this morning.
