§ Mr. Cocksasked the Home Secretary whether he has considered utilising the services of many of the unemployed in various areas by organising them into salvage units under skilled direction for the purpose of clearing débris after air raids, demolishing dangerous buildings, repairing roads and bridges, fighting fires in woods and harvest fields and other similar emergency work?
§ Sir J. AndersonLocal authorities have a general responsibility in these matters and I have no doubt that they will be glad to avail themselves of the services of suitable unemployed persons in cases where additional help is needed.
