§ Sir E. STOCKTONasked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider the desirability, whenever any industrial trouble is threatened, of laying in detail before the parties concerned the exact economic situation of the country, with the object of avoiding any industrial developments which may react prejudicially upon employment?
§ Sir M. BARLOWI appreciate the suggestion of my hon. Friend, but I have no reason to suppose that employers and workers, especially the leaders on both sides, are not fully alive to the economic position of the country.
