§ Mr. Hammersleyasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the London Working Rule Agreement for the building industry makes no provision for probationary training, except for women; that this agreement is preventing the employment of part- and spare-time men workers who are available; and what steps he is taking to prevent this wastage of available man-power?
§ Mr. BevinI am not aware that the absence of any provision for the probationary training of men in the agreement referred to is preventing their employment as part-time and spare-time workers. If my hon. Friend can send me evidence of this I will look into the matter.
