HC Deb 23 July 1940 vol 363 cc634-5W
Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will co-operate more closely with the Minister of Labour for Northern Ireland in providing additional war work for the large number of unemployed in Northern Ireland who are ready and willing, awaiting the word of command to do their part for the defeat of our enemies?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

I can assure my hon. Friend that the closest attention is given to the question of providing additional war work for Northern Ireland. Close touch with the Minister of Labour for Northern Ireland is maintained through the Ministry of Supply's Area Officer in Belfast.
