HC Deb 09 October 1939 vol 352 c37
31. Sir W. Jenkins (for Sir C. Edwards)

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that men living in the Bedwas, Monmouthshire, area are being sent to work elsewhere, whilst men from elsewhere are brought to Bedwas to work; and whether, seeing that this means inconvenience and hardship and also a reduction in wages owing to the cost of getting to and fro, the unnecessary use of vehicles, petrol, etc., he will take steps through the Labour Exchanges to put an end to this state of affairs?

Mr. Assheton

My right hon. Friend is making inquiries, and will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
