§ Mr. T. GRIFFITHSasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether he is aware that the iron and steel workers in the Middlesbrough and Stockton district will cease work on the first Sunday in April because the tramway company will not provide cars on Sunday for the purpose of taking the workmen to their various works; whether he is also aware that it will only require a small quantity of coal to enable the tramway company to run their cars; 68W if the Works came to a standstill on Sunday it will mean a serious loss to the firm and workmen, because the repairs cannot be carried out until Monday and the works cannot be restarted until Tuesday morning; and whether he will take action at once to avoid a serious dislocation of work?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANMy hon. Friend has asked me to answer this question. I am not at present in a position to add to the answer given on Thursday last to the question on this subject asked by the hon. Member for Middlesbrough, West.
