§ 8. Mr. Summersasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the policy of the Amalgamated Union of Building Trade Workers is to oppose the dilution of labour; and whether, in the national interest, notwithstanding this attitude, he is prepared to augment the supply of labour in this industry to over come the shortage that exists?
§ Mr. BevinWhile I am aware of certain difficulties of this kind, I know of no reason for thinking that they constitute any major hindrance to production in this industry, and more effective methods of increasing production arc being adopted.
§ Mr. SummersIs the Minister prepared to see that no ill-effects from the national standpoint result from people putting sectional interests above those of the nation?
