asked the Minister of Works on what grounds a W.B.A. priority was refused for the plumbing work on four cottages on the farm known as Charlesfield, Annan, which are being reconditioned at the proprietor's expense for the use of farm workers, and are completed except for the plumbing work.

This was not one of the classes of cases in which the local authority was authorised to grant priority. An application has since been made through the Department of Agriculture and priority has been granted.
