HC Deb 05 May 1938 vol 335 c1001
2. Mr. R. C. Morrison

asked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the fact recently disclosed that, owing to the scarcity of bargemen, the Grand Union Canal Company had last year to refuse 400,000 tons of traffic; and whether he is taking steps to recruit men for this work?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 14th April to the hon. Member for Dudley (Mr. Joel) of which I am sending him a copy.
