HC Deb 13 December 1945 vol 417 c610
57. Major John Morrison

asked the Minister of Labour why lodging allowances and cheap travel vouchers are still available to workers in this country who have come from Eire, and when these increments on their wages will cease.

Mr. Isaacs

Facilities of this kind provided by the Ministry are the same as for British workers temporarily employed on important work away from their homes, and I see no reason at present to withdraw them from Eire workers when they are still needed for such employment in this country.

Major Morrison

Can the right hon. Gentleman give any indication of the total cost?

Mr. Isaacs

It is in the next Question.
