12. Major Lloydasked the Minister of Labour how many of the 36 stoppages in 1951 among workers transporting goods by road, were among workers employed by the Road Haulage Executive; and what were the causes.
§ Sir W. MoncktonWorkers employed by the Road Haulage Executive were involved in 35 of the 36 stoppages of work in 1951 caused by industrial disputes in undertakings engaged in the road transport of goods. Eight of these stoppages arose out of disputes on matters concerning wages, two on questions concerning hours of work, 10 on questions concerning the employment of particular classes of workers or particular individuals, and 12 on other matters concerned with working arrangements. The remaining three stoppages were in support of workers involved in other disputes.
Major LloydWould I be right in assuming from that answer that the employees of the Road Haulage Executive have not been quite as contented as has been represented by Socialist propaganda of the last few weeks?
