HC Deb 07 December 1922 vol 159 c2023W
Mr. MOSLEY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the extension of the terms of reference to the committee to be appointed to inquire into the organisation of the British Empire Exhibition so as to include an inquiry into the question of the employment of labour in the construction of the exhibition, more especially as it affects ex-soldiers and local workmen?

Sir W. JOYNSON HICKS

I understand that my right hon. Friend the Minister for Labour is in correspondence on the subject with the contractor concerned, and I do not think it is necessary to include this subject among those into which I am to inquire.
