HC Deb 26 June 1924 vol 175 c619W
Mr. AYLES

asked the Secretary for Mines whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the mineowners in the Bristol district have refused to accept the national agreement entered into between the mineowners of Great Britain and the Miners' Federation; and what steps he is prepared to take to bring the Bristol mineowners into line with those in other parts of the country?

Mr. SHINWELL

I understand that a meeting is being arranged between the Bristol mineowners and the Bristol miners for the purpose of considering the position in that coalfield.
