HC Deb 31 January 1929 vol 224 c1154W
Mr. C. EDWARDS

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that Employment Exchange officials have been canvassing men to return to work at Nine Mile Point Colliery, Monmouthshire; that on the note presented to each man no terms for piece-workers were specified; that neither the miners' agent nor lodge officials had any intimation from the colliery company that they intended reopening the colliery; whether this is part of the duty of these Exchange officials; and, if not, will he take steps to prevent it in future?

Sir A. STEEL-MAITLAND
