HC Deb 21 February 1949 vol 461 c230W
92. Mr. Walker-Smith

asked the Minister of Works whether he intends to invite tenders for any or all of the works on the island of Alderney for which his Department is responsible.

Mr. Key

No. At the request of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department, my Ministry is to undertake the repair and re-building of war-damaged houses on Alderney. In view of the inadequancy of the local labour resources, the work will be carried out by my Ministry's Mobile Labour Force.
