The committee notes that the most active bidders for such workers are aircraft firms, and draws the conclusion that their contracts must be on extremely favourable terms if thev are able to stand these additions to their labour costs._ The Manchester Guardian shows this question as only part of the general problem ol ! the proper use oi skilled laboui with which the Labour Ministry must urgently grapple. .
