HC Deb 30 January 1929 vol 224 c962W
Sir G. DALRYMPLE-WHITE

asked the Secretary for Mines whether the full number of miners that was required for working the Harworth Main Colliery, Bawtry, eight miles from Doncaster, has yet been secured; and whether, in view of the fact that there were houses available and that there are many thousands of miners unemployed in the Yorkshire area, he can give the reason for the difficulty hitherto experienced in obtaining sufficient labour?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND

I have been asked to reply. I understand that this colliery has now obtained all the labour required at present.
