HC Deb 12 July 1939 vol 349 cc2264-5W
Mr. Pritt

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he is aware that there is a trade dispute between the Steel Barrel Company, Uxbridge, working on contracts with his Department containing fair-wage clauses binding the company to observe trade union rates and conditions, and its employés owing to alleged breaches of the clause; and whether he will make inquiries into the allegations and, if necessary, take steps to enforce the observance of the clause?

Mr. Shakespeare

This matter has been brought to the notice of the Admiralty and investigation is being made into the facts of the case.
