§ Mr. GILBERTasked the Minister of Labour whether he can make any statement as regards the position with the employés of tramway and omnibus under takings who have handed in their notices to their employers; and, in view of keeping many of these services running for the convenience of munition and other war workers, what steps he has taken in order to prevent this great stoppage of London traffic?
Mr. ROBERTSI have held conferences with both sides, and I have arranged for a further joint conference to be held on Thursday morning, at which it is hoped that a settlement will be reached.
