HC Deb 10 May 1923 vol 163 c2585W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Prime Minister whether the contractual arrangements for the construction of the British cemeteries in France have now been made whereby the balance of the work will be in British bands, to the benefit of British labour?

Mr. GWYNNE

I have been asked to reply. As the hon. Member was informed in reply to his question of the 9th April, the matter is not free from difficulty. It is being carefully considered with a view to carrying out, as far as may be possible, the object the hon. Member desires, but I am not in a position to make any statement at present.
