HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 c253W
102. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Works if he will, where there is a number of contractors engaged on a building site, some of whom employ only a small number of men, issue instructions for joint arrangements to be made by them, where practicable, for the erection of a central canteen for the use of the whole of the men employed by all the contractors on the site.

Mr. Wilson

Provision for welfare, including adequate and suitable accommodation for taking meals, is contained in the draft Regulation recently published by the Ministry of Labour. I am also in consultation with both sides of the building industry with regard to the provision of welfare facilities and will bear my hon. Friend's suggestion in mind.
