HC Deb 14 April 1919 vol 114 c2495
57. Mr. SPOOR

asked 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 LAW

I am not aware of the facts stated in the question, but am making inquiries.
