HC Deb 17 February 1919 vol 112 c556
86. Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the action of glass-making firms in Sunderland in locking-out their workmen; whether he is aware that his Department upheld the men's claim for an advance as reasonable and just, and that the employers have refused to accept the award; and whether he can take any action in the matter?

Mr. WARDLE

The Sunderland and District Trades and Labour Council called attention to this matter a few days ago, and inquiries are being made, after which a communication will be made to the hon. Member.
