HC Deb 20 February 1919 vol 112 c1203W
Mr. T. WILSON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour if he is aware that a strike is in progress at the shipbuilding works of Messrs. Vickers, at Barrow-in-Furness, owing to the refusal of the firm to restore certain conditions that obtained previous to August, 1916; and, if so, what steps, if any, he is taking in the matter?

Mr. WARDLE

I understand that a strike has occurred at these works in connection with a claim by the men that the firm should withdraw the premium bonus system of payment. Inquiries are being made into the matter
