§ Mr. CAMPBELLasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that differences have arisen in the London building trade on the question of the working of overtime in the London area; that there are many large buildings now being erected in London where urgent work is as a consequence being held up; and that the men desire to work the necessary overtime; and whether he can take any steps to enable them to do so?
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDI have been asked to reply. There is joint machinery existing between the employers' and workers' organisations for dealing with matters of this kind, and I have no doubt that the position to which my hon. Friend refers will receive attention. In these circumstances, I do not think that intervention on my part at the present moment would be desirable.
