HC Deb 25 March 1943 vol 387 c1781W
Colonel Burton

asked the Minister of Labour whether he proposes to take any action in connection with the strike of engine drivers and firemen at Stratford, London and North Eastern Railway, on Sunday, 21st March, 1943; and whether he is making any arrangements to counteract dislocation of services in the event of their threat that further strikes will take place weekly?

Mr. Bevin

This was an unofficial stoppage of work due to the refusal of a section of workers to do Sunday work and I am considering whether it is a case for prosecution. As regards the second part of the Question my Noble Friend the Minister of War Transport informs me that arrangements have been made to use all available locomotives for the conveyance of essential traffic.
