§ 34. Mr. McGOVERNasked the Secretary for Mines if he is aware that a dispute is in progress in certain mines of Fife, and that the owners will not meet the Miners' Union representatives; and if he will use his good offices to secure a meeting between both parties at an early date?
§ The SECRETARY for MINES (Mr. Isaac Foot)I have seen a reference to this dispute in the Press, but I have received no representations on the subject from the Miners' Federation or the owners, and I do not think intervention by my Department would be helpful at present.
