HC Deb 12 December 1911 vol 32 cc2130-1
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked whether the right hon. Gentleman has yet received a Report from the advisory committee concerning the wages scale for Dowlais; and whether, as the dispute was settled ten weeks ago, the firm of Guest, Keen, and Nettlefold is again eligible to tender for contracts for his Department?

Mr. HARCOURT

As I understand that an arrangement has been arrived at at Dowlais, which is satisfactory to all parties, I gave instructions on the 22nd November, so far as my Department is concerned, that orders may again be placed with Messrs Guest, Keen, and Nettlefold at their Dowlais works.
