HC Deb 01 August 1944 vol 402 c1184W
Captain Shaw

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in arranging contracts for work in connection with the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Schemes, he will see that the Board make it a condition that in no case shall more than 10 per cent. of the labour force involved be Irish.

Mr. Johnston

The placing of contracts is a matter for the Board. I certainly hope that the labour employed in the carrying out of the Board's schemes will be recruited so far as possible in Scotland.
