Major Lloydasked the Minister without Portfolio whether it is his intention to take into consultation all sections of opinion in this House in connection with any schemes of post-war reconstruction which may be in the course of consideration; and what steps he proposes to take to that end?
§ Mr. Greenwood:The Prime Minister has stated that in dealing with problems of reconstruction it is the desire of the Government to frame schemes which will command the support of the nation as a whole.
