§ 81. Mr. WESTWOODasked the Secretary for Mines what steps, if any, he has taken or proposes to take consequent upon the investigation into overtime in Scottish mines?
§ The SECRETARY for MINES (Captain Crookshank)Since the publication of the report of this investigation I have discussed the question of overtime generally, with particular reference to Scotland, with the Mining Association and with the Mineworkers' Federation and have also had correspondence with the Scottish coalowners. I have reason to believe that this has resulted in a substantial improvement in the situation. I am continuing to watch the position closely, and if I receive any specific complaints, I will have them investigated at once.
