§ Viscount WOLMERasked what steps the Government propose to take to supply the necessaries of life to those miners and other workers and their families who have been, against their wishes, deprived of employment by the coal strike and who are threatened with starvation?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot say more at present than that the Government are carefully considering the situation. They note with satisfaction that in a good many instances employers, in place of discharging their employés, are, for the present at any rate, giving them part-time employment.
