HC Deb 21 June 1926 vol 197 c55W
Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that differences have arisen in the London building trade on the question of the working of overtime in the London area; that there are many large buildings now being erected in London where urgent work is as a consequence being held up; and that the men desire to work the necessary overtime; and whether he can take any steps to enable them to do so?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I have been asked to reply. There is joint machinery existing between the employers' and workers' organisations for dealing with matters of this kind, and I have no doubt that the position to which my hon. Friend refers will receive attention. In these circumstances, I do not think that intervention on my part at the present moment would be desirable.
