Mr. MACLEANasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the closing of the Glasgow subway owing to a dispute between the company and their employees is causing inconvenience to workers in Hillhead, Partick, and Govan who use this means of transport to cross the river to their places of employment; whether he is aware that it necessitates them leaving their homes hours earlier; and what action he proposes to take to end this unsatisfactory condition?
§ Sir R. HORNEI understand that the stoppage of the Glasgow subway has caused some inconvenience particularly to those who utilise the subway as a means of crossing the river at Govan and Partick. I am informed, however, that a limited service has now been started and that it is expected that a full service will be in operation shortly.
