asked the Minister of Works how many times the Committee of Review, set up under the Working Rule Agreement for Building Trade Operatives in the London District, which was signed on 27th February, 1947, have met; and if their views on the increase or otherwise of output in the building trade will be published.

The Committee of Review of the building industry is a committee composed of representatives of both sides of the industry with some independent members. My Department is not represented on it and I am not in a position to give detailed information about its activities. The question of publication of any report will be a matter for the committee.
