HC Deb 09 February 1943 vol 386 c1191W
Mr. Ness Edwards

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is aware that a large degree of dissatisfaction exists among the administrative grades of the railway workers in South Wales with regard to the alleged discrimination against those involved in the 1926 stoppage; and whether he will cause inquiries to be made and any proven injustice removed?

Mr. Noel-Baker

I am informed that on 30th January the general manager of the Great Western Railway received a telegram alleging favouritism in recent promotions of senior clerks in the Cardiff division and asking for an investigation. The general manager has asked the authors of the telegram to furnish detailed information about the specific cases which they have in mind, but I understand that this information has not yet been received.
