Colonel Arthur Evansasked the Minister of Labour whether, in connection with the provision of public and district air-raid shelters in Wales, he will arrange with the trade unions concerned to allow unskilled unemployed men to be engaged as bricklayers, so as to complete these shelters at the earliest possible moment?
