§ Mr. Callaghanasked the Minister of Labour whether he has now received a report on the inquiry held by Mr. John Cameron, K.C., into the objections entered to the draft scheme for the Decasualisation of Dock Workers; whether he has also received a report on the inquiry conducted under the chairmanship of Sir Hector Hetherington into the question of the amount and basis of calculation of the
232Wwhether he will therefore now classify schools with the other essential industries, and services for whom displaced persons labour is now being supplied.
