§ Mr. O'GRADYasked whether the inspecting officer who inquired into the strike of girls at the Peel Connor Tele- 414 phone Works, Manchester, while the firm were carrying out a Government contract, asked the girls to submit their view of the trouble; and, if not, will an inquiry be again undertaken and the girls' evidence taken in the matter of the reduction in wages which caused the strike?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELI find that the girls who struck work were not asked to submit their views. I am sending an officer to make a further investigation, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member without delay.
