§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he is aware that Reginald Body and Partners made an offer of bricklaying jobs of £60 per week to the Ugandan immigrants and that his Plymouth office laid down a condition that this firm would additionally have to house the men and their families; under what statutory rule or regulation this order was made; and whether similar conditions are applied to all British-born bricklayers when being offered bricklaying jobs.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkThis firm of consultants asked our Plymouth office whether there were any bricklayers amongst the United Kingdom passport holders evacuated from Uganda available to work for firms in Cornwall on a labour only sub-contract basis. As there were194W none locally and it was known that United Kingdom passport holders had already had difficulty in finding local accommodation, Mr. Body was asked if he or the builders might be able to assist. This was a practical response to his needs, not a condition, and similar steps would clearly not be appropriate in all cases involving British born bricklayers.
