§ 44. Mr. Ivor Thomasasked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether the figures of absenteeism, which he recently announced, include absence due to sickness and accident?
§ Mr. ThomasIs it not a fact that many of the charges of absenteeism against miners are grossly exaggerated?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI rather indicated in my speech last Thursday that the 1068 figures of absenteeism included not only voluntary absenteeism, but involuntary absenteeism, which includes a high rate of sickness and accidents.
