HC Deb 03 July 1950 vol 477 c18
27. Sir G. Harvie-Watt

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what lines of action he has approved under Section (3) of the Coal Mines Act, 1946, with a view to educating workers in accepting new tasks or the reassessment of tasks in order to improve productivity of coal.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

The acceptance of new tasks, or the reassessment of tasks, in the coal industry are matters which fall to be dealt with by the conciliation machinery set up under the requirements of the Act of 1946. The Question which the hon. and learned Baronet has put to me does not, therefore, arise.
