§ 57. Mr. SPOORasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that the miners in the Ruhr district of Germany are on strike for shorter hours and increased wages; that the German Government, in refusing these demands, has stated that it is forbidden, by terms imposed by the Allies at Brussels, from allowing a single pound of food into districts in which a strike is in progress; and whether this statement is correct?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI am not aware of the facts stated in the question, but am making inquiries.
