§ Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Labour to what extent the placing of Italians and Germans in foundry work is due to shortage of labour; and why apprentices to this work are being called to the Forces.
§ Mr. IsaacsThe proposed employment of Italians in iron founding is entirely due to the shortage of suitable British labour. Deferment is given on application in the case of all young men in iron founding, including apprentices.
