HC Deb 05 July 1923 vol 166 c636W
Mr. MILLAR

asked the Minister of Labour whether the award of the industrial court regarding railway shopmen has now been put into operation on all the railways in Great Britain?

Sir M. BARLOW

I understand that Award 728 of the Industrial Court regarding railway shopmen, which was issued prior to the amalgamation of the railway companies into groups, has been put into operation by the 16 companies who were parties to the Award. Since that time certain of the other companies have voluntarily put the Award into operation, whilst others have not yet done so.
