HC Deb 06 December 1920 vol 135 cc1767-8W
Mr. R. YOUNG

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that the financial position of the supervisors of the workshop section of railways is gravely affected by the non-application of the conciliation section scheme relating to war bonus, night duty, hours of duty, annual holiday, etc., and by the inadequate application of the commuted overtime allowance and the non-payment of a fair rate of outdoor expenses, and that great dissatisfaction exists owing to there being no prescribed method of appeal for revisions of classifications, etc.; and whether he will take speedy steps to effect a satisfactory settlement, seeing that this matter has been in abeyance for months in spite of repeated requests for its settlement?

Sir E. GEDDES

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to a somewhat similar question which he asked on 1st December.
