§ 55. Mr. John McKayasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the painters and decorators in the Wallsend training centre are unable to get on with their training, due to the shortage of paint, water paint, wallpaper and other materials; and if he will take steps to prevent paint, etc., being supplied to less essential jobs during this period of shortage in the training centre.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe shortage at the Wall-send Centre was a temporary one and has now been met. I am assured every effort is being made to see that training is not hampered by shortage of materials.
