HC Deb 30 May 1945 vol 411 c240W
Sir G. Jones

asked the Minister of Works how many bricks were the minimum required to be laid by a bricklayer in a day, with normal labouring assistance, on a straight internal wall to entitle him to a full day's pay during 1938.

Mr. Sandys

Before the war bricklayers were paid by the hour. No minimum rate of output was therefore fixed.
