§ 27. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvineasked the Minister of Labour what steps he is taking to protect employers in the country areas of the South-East where skilled labour is in short supply, unable to offer increased wages to their staff owing to the standstill, to compete with firms moving into the same area from an area where higher rates are being paid.
§ Mr. HattersleyI will look into any complaint of difficulties caused by this. If the hon. Member has a specific example in mind I hope he will supply me with the details of the case.
