HC Deb 24 April 1940 vol 360 c185
12. Mr. Tomlinson

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he is aware that the County Brook Mill Company, Foulridge, who are engaged on Government contracts at their Foulridge mill, are working overtime and being permitted to do so by the Home Office, whilst at the same time refusing to honour trade union agreements regarding overtime rates; and will he inform this company that such action is a breach of the Fair Wages Clause in Government contracts, and call for redress?

Captain Balfour

The firm in question does not hold any contract from my Department.
