§ 78. Mr. D. GRAHAMasked the Secretary for Mines whether any inquiry has been made into breaches of the Mines Act with respect to Sunday labour and overtime working at Rosehall Colliery, Coatbridge; and whether any improvement has been made?
§ Mr. E. BROWNThe answer to the first part of the question is Yes; though I do not quite understand what the hon. Member has in mind when he refers to breaches of the Act in respect of Sunday labour; With regard to the question of overtime working, inquiries were made on several occasions in March and April, and there does not appear to be any serious cause for complaint.
§ Mr. GRAHAMDoes that mean that almost everyone in that particular locality must be unable to distinguish between an ordinary person and a man going to or from his work on Sunday afternoon?
