§ 68. Mr. E. J. Williamsasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware of the wet conditions for labour at the Royal Arsenal, Bridgend; and whether he will induce the contractors to provide oilskins, gumboots and shelters for their employés?
§ Sir P. SassoonThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I understand that the contractors are already supplying oilskins and gumboots to men required to work in wet conditions, and that ample shelter accommodation has been provided.
§ Mr. WilliamsWill the right hon. Gentleman make further inquiries, particularly to see whether those working in these conditions were without gumboots?
§ Sir P. SassoonMy information is that all those working in those conditions were provided with gumboots.
