HC Deb 04 April 1940 vol 359 c341W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the large number of building trade operatives at present unemployed, and the adaptability of these men for the production of munitions and aircraft, he will give consideration to their employment on such work?

Mr. E. Brown

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Hendon (Sir R. Blair) on 7th March.
