§ Sir COOPER RAWSONasked the Minister of Transport what action, if any, he proposes to take with regard to the protest unanimously passed by the Whitley Joint Council for the West Midland roadstone quarry industry, representing employers and employés at Ludlow, on the 2nd February against the illegal action of the Clun Rural District Council in quarrying and supplying roadstone to the Salop County Council and to the Bishop's Castle Corporation, particularly in view of the fact that the Clun Rural District Council paid wages at a lower rate than the rate fixed by the Joint Industrial Council and recognised as standard rates for the district?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThis case does not appear to have been previously brought to my notice, but I will have inquiries made in order to ascertain whether any action on my part is called for.
