§ Mr. CROOKEasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the great shortage of skilled workers in the building trade, he will consider the advisability of taking steps to increase the number of 453W these men to at least the level of 1911, as by so doing he will not only be helping to solve the housing problem, but also diminishing the number of unemployed?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on the 23rd instant to a similar question by the hon. Member for Altrincham (Mr. Alstead).
