HC Deb 05 March 1924 vol 170 c1421W
Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Labour whether he contemplates the revision of relief work up to the minimum trade union rates on direct labour relief schemes, in view of the present burdens which have to be borne by Poor Law authorities as a subsidy of such wages?

Mr. SHAW

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on the 27th February to a similar question by the hon. Member for Hackney South (Mr. H. Morrison).
