§ 8. Mr. A. Edwardsasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the great use of man-power in connection with the "Wings for Victory" campaign; and whether he satisfied himself that the war effort would be commensurately forwarded?
§ Mr. BevinThe man-power involved is almost entirely provided by voluntary workers and is, in my opinion, fully justified by the benefit to the war effort of a successful campaign.
§ Mr. EdwardsDoes the Minister not realise that if the people give these millions of man-hours for these efforts, they will have to withhold them from some other voluntary efforts? Is it not in the nature of a fraud, because these sincere people will not add a single aeroplane but will double the cost of the money so lent to the Chancellor?
§ Mr. BevinThat is a matter which I think the hon. Member should address to my right hon. Friend the Chancellor.
§ Mr. EdwardsI have addressed it to the Chancellor, but he is one of those yarn merchants.
