§ Viscount Suirdaleasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the short working hours available in daylight throughout the winter months, the need for many of the workers who have come to London from the provinces to keep two homes, and their desire to get on with the job, he will arrange, in co-operation with the Minister of Works, for such men as wish to do so to be allowed to work seven days a week during the hours of daylight with not more than a half-hour break for dinner.
§ Mr. WillinkI am sending my Noble and gallant Friend a copy of the instructions which, on the advice of my Noble Friend the Minister of Works, I have just issued to local authorities regarding the hours of work for labour engaged on repairs to war damaged houses, which, I think, cover the point he raises.
