Major COLFOX

asked the Minister of Agriculture what is the time limit of

made that such stoppages are to take place?

Mr. BETTERTON

I have to refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right. hon. Friend on the 15th February to a question asked by the hon. Member for Devonport (Mr. Hore-Belisha), of which I am sending him a copy. The closest co-operation is maintained between the Employment Exchanges and the dockyard authorities, and every possible effort is made to find employment for men discharged from the dockyards.
