HC Deb 27 November 1945 vol 416 c1054
12. Mr. Quintin Hogg

asked the Minister of Labour whether the figure of 750,000 operatives in the building trade by 10th May, 1946, is still the estimate of the Government.

Mr. Isaacs

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Hogg

In those circumstances, will the right hon. Gentleman dissuade his colleague the Minister of Health from giving absurdly over-optimistic estimates of the prospects next June?

Mr. Isaacs

I am sorry that the Minister of Health did not have this question addressed to him direct so that I could have heard his reply.
