§ Mr. Banfieldasked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the shortage of staff in canteens attached to munitions works and their continuous depletion by the offer of more remunerative and attractive employment elsewhere, he will make inquiries into the wage rates and conditions of these essential workers so that every encouragement may be given them to remain in their present occupation?
§ Mr. BevinMy present information has not led me to think that the factory canteens are suffering from a serious shortage of staff. If my hon. Friend has detailed information of this I shall be glad if he will kindly send it to me.
