HC Deb 08 December 1925 vol 189 cc306-8W
Sir W. de FRECE

asked the Minister of Labour how many unofficial or so-called lightning strikes have taken place in the current year; how many of them have been recognised by their different unions; what has been, in the aggregate, the total of wasted hours of work; and what are the different cases which produced them?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

The variation of circumstances in different strikes is so great that any tabulation of the kind asked for is, I fear, quite impracticable. Some of the information, also, which is desired is not available.
