§ 15. Mr. Philips Priceasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that manufacturers of scientific glassware in this country are losing their skilled glassblowers to firms who are able to offer them high wages, in view of the scope for selling domestic glassware at high prices under present conditions; and whether, in view of the vital importance to this country of an adequate supply of scientific glassware, he will take some remedial action in this matter.
§ Mr. IsaacsI have no evidence that skilled glassblowers are leaving the scientific glassware industry to any extent. If my hon. Friend has particular cases in mind and will let me know I will make further inquiries.
