§ 9. Mr. Leachasked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that the firm of William Rhodes, Limited, Carlton Cross Mills, Leeds, is not observing trade union standard conditions in the making of hair mattresses for his Department; and will he take steps to deal with the matter?
§ Sir K. WoodThe attention of the Air Ministry was drawn to this matter in September last by the General Union of Bedding Trade Workers. In reply, it was suggested to the union that the customary machinery for joint discussion with the National Bedding Federation should be invoked. As no further communication has been received, it is assumed that the matter is progressing satisfactorily.
§ Sir K. WoodNo, Sir. I understand the matter is being discussed in the way I have indicated.
§ Sir K. WoodI think that will be a matter of discussion.
