§ 64. Mr. ANDERSONasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the railway company decline to grant such morning railway facilities as will permit the workers travelling from Barrhead to Glasgow to reach their work by 6 a.m.; whether he is aware that repeated requests have been made by the workers and have been refused by the company; whether he knows that these workers are engaged on urgent work in the shipyards, and that this refusal on the part of the railway company is hindering shipbuilding and involves a loss of wages of from 6s. to 8s. per week, since these workers find it impossible to obtain homes near their work; and whether he will cause inquiry to be made, and see what action can be taken?
§ Mr. WARDLEI am making inquiries in this matter, and so soon as these have been completed, I will communicate with the hon. Gentleman.
