HC Deb 14 November 1929 vol 231 c2194
22. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Minister of Labour whether she proposes to introduce legislation to extend her powers and obligations in regard to intervention in and prevention of industrial disputes, with a view to securing a full inquiry into the circum-stances of each dispute prior to a stop-page of work?

Miss BONDFIELD

I am not satisfied that there is ground for an extension of the existing powers in this matter.
