HC Deb 06 March 1934 vol 286 cc1642-3
31. Mr. GEORGE HALL

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware of the increasing and unnecessary overtime worked by a number of miners at the River Level Colliery, Aberdare; and, in view of the large number of unemployed miners in this district, will he take immediate steps to deal with this matter?

Mr. E. BROWN

Inquiries are being made into this matter, but are not yet completed. I will let the hon. Member know the result if he will put the question down again on Tuesday next.

Mr. HALL

In the inquiries that are being conducted, will the hon. Gentleman see that representatives of the workmen are consulted by the person holding the inquiry?

Mr. BROWN

The hon. Member must understand that this is a matter of management, but I will consider it.
