HC Deb 14 July 1920 vol 131 c2365
38. Mr. MILLS

asked the Minister of Labour what steps, if any, have been taken to end the carters' dispute at Ton-bridge, where men have ceased work owing to local coal contractors refusing to advance a wage of 32s. per week of an average of 65 hours per week?

Dr. MACNAMARA

An officer of my Department is seeing the parties locally, with a view to arranging a joint conference, if possible.
