HC Deb 04 December 1947 vol 445 c573
53. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Labour how many insurable workers are employed at the Palace of Westminster.

Mr. Isaacs

This information is not separately recorded, and I do not propose to make special inquiries.

Mr. Hughes

In view of the Minister's speech in the Debate last night, and his anxiety to keep every worker employed in useful industry, will he consider getting information about both this Palace and Buckingham Palace?

Mr. Isaacs

No, Sir. As I mentioned last week, it is the policy of the Ministry not to obtain information relating to special establishments of any kind. To try to do so under the Order made last night would be quite outside the terms of that Order.

Sir T. Moore

Will that Order include Members of this House?
