HC Deb 26 July 1926 vol 198 c1716W
Mr. SAKLATVALA

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware of the terms of the Flour Millers' Federation agreement of 20th February, 1919, granting a holiday of one week to men engaged in the industry; if he is aware that the federation are now refusing to grant such holiday; and whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

Mr. BETTERTON

I understand the question at issue was whether a holiday was due under the agreement to men who went on strike. The matter has been dealt with by the Joint Industrial Council of the industry, by which the agreement was made, and I see no ground for intervening.
