§ 13. Mr. Hannahasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the serious position in a certain area from large industrial plants being in danger of having to close down from a lack of moulding sand, an essential material in the production of munitions, because the quarries that supply it are unable to secure the necessary labour, one of them being reduced to a single 395 labourer; and will he take immediate steps to remedy this state of affairs?
§ Mr. BevinNo, Sir. I will have inquiries made, if my hon. Friend will be good enough to give me fuller particulars.
