HC Deb 11 March 1952 vol 497 cc1243-4
22. Mr. James Simmons

asked the Minister of Labour, in view of the fact that an adequate supply of labour in the brickmaking industry is essential to the housing programme, why his Department is encouraging brickworkers to go into the coal mines.

Sir W. Monckton

This is not the policy of my Department. I presume that the hon. Member is referring to an unfortunately worded advertisement, which has now been withdrawn.
