§ 54. Sir Irving Alberyasked the Minister without Portfolio whether any post-war short-term policy is being planned to deal with demobilisation, employment, housing and finance; and what Ministers, commissions or committees are charged with these urgent tasks?
§ Sir W. JowittAll these matters are engaging the close attention of the Ministers directly responsible under the general co-ordination of the Ministerial Committee on Reconstruction Problems, of which I am Chairman. In the statement which I made to the House on 1st December I described the machinery for the study of reconstruction problems, and I do not think I can usefully add anything to that statement at present.
§ Sir I. AlberyIs it being borne in mind that the interim problems, despite the difficulties of the permanent problems, are even more urgent?
§ Sir W. JowittYes, Sir.
