HC Deb 17 July 1919 vol 118 c645W
Mr. SPENCER

asked the President of the Hoard of Trade if he is aware of the discontent in the railway service owing the the failure in many instances of railway companies carrying out the principle of the eight-hour day, and that in some districts men are working eight and more days per week; and, if such cannot be done owing to shortage of men, will he request the Army Council to liberate some of the railwaymen from the Army for that purpose?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the answer, of which I am sending him a copy, to a question on this subject asked on the 26th June by the hon. Member for North-East Derbyshire.
