Mr. T. THOMSON:

asked the Minister of Health if he will remove the restrictions at present in force reducing the rate of wages for those engaged on unemployment works below the trade union rate of the district?

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for South Hackney yesterday. The whole question is under consideration, and I should be glad if the hon. Member would put this question down again this day week, when I hope to be able to make a definite statement.
