42. Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Secretary for Mines what is the present position of the negotiations as to hours of work in the coal-mining industry?

Mr. SHINWELL

I cannot at the moment add anything to the answer given to the hon. Member on the 9th June, except to say that the negotiations are still proceeding, and that a statement will be made at the earliest possible moment.
