§ 49. Mr. Niall Macphersonasked the Minister of Labour whether, under the recently-announced arrangements with the Amalgamated Engineering Union, Poles are to be given employment in the aeronautical construction and aviation industries in preference to British nationals who are not members of that union.
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsNo, Sir.
§ Mr. MacphersonWill the right hon. Gentleman give an undertaking that if customs are in any way to be relaxed, they will at any rate be relaxed in favour of British employees as soon as they are relaxed in favour of foreign employees?
§ Mr. Ness EdwardsThe position is quite clear. No foreign worker is entitled to take a job for which a British worker is available.
