§ Mr. RENWICKasked the First Commissioner of Works whether, during the continuance of the serious shortage of labour in the building trade, orders will be given to suspend all but urgently needed repair work on Government buildings?
§ Sir A. MONDThe necessity for avoiding any unnecessary interference with the building labour available for housing is fully recognised and the building programme of my Department as regards both new works and repairs is being restricted entirely to works of pressing urgency.
