HC Deb 11 July 1911 vol 28 cc194-5
Mr. WILLIAM THORNE

asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that a labour dispute has taken place at the Clay Cross Coal and Iron Works, Chesterfield, the company being contractors to the Post Office for the supply of telephone pipes; and that the company is not carrying out the Fair-Wages Clause for Post Office contracts of 10th March, 1909; and, if so, what action will he take in the matter?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Captain Norton)

No complaint has been made to my right hon. Friend of any failure of this company to tarry out the Fair-Wages Clause of its contracts. If the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars, I will have enquiry made.

Mr. W. THORNE

Thank you. I will. I have them in my hand.
