HC Deb 22 December 1919 vol 123 cc1069-70W
Sir W SEAGER

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the men employed on a housing scheme at Swansea have refused to work because the doors, window frames, sashes, and other joinery work is being made by joiners in a special factory employing trade unionists and paying trade union wages, and that this action means further delay in providing houses for the workers in that town and district; and whether he proposes to take any action?

Dr. ADDISON

I am in communication with the Town Council on this matter, and hope that a way may speedily be found out of the difficulties which, as my hon. Friend points out, are seriously delaying the provision of houses for the workers of Swansea.
