§ Mr. GaitskellTwenty pit-head baths including two in South Wales are now in course of erection. The programme for 1948 envisaged that a start would be made on the construction of a further 100 including 10 in. South Wales. The programme is being reviewed in the light of the amount of labour available locally for this purpose, and for the building of houses for miners.
