§ 11. Mr. Gallacherasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the labour force on building work for education in June, 1948, in Scotland.
§ Mr. WoodburnTwo thousand five hundred and fifty-eight men were engaged on building work for educational purposes in June.
§ Mr. GallacherIs it not possible to make a considerable increase in this force, and, along with the efforts to increase the buildings, to take over other buildings, so that we can not only extend the present educational work, but start and conduct the junior colleges as well?
§ Mr. WoodburnAny local authority which wishes to have more work done in this direction, and which will indicate from what other part of its work it is willing for building labour to be transfered, may make that suggestion, and will consider it.
