§ 80. Mr. GRUNDYasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that two railway-coach repairing shops at Ashford are not working full-time, and that twelve men have been discharged and further discharges are expected; and whether he will make inquiries into this 1420 matter, and state the reason for this shortage of work at a time when railway rolling stock is admittedly out of repair?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI am not aware of the circumstances of the case, but I am making inquiries.
