HC Deb 20 June 1944 vol 401 cc36-7W
Mr. J. Glanville

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if, in view of the fact that the miners are being requested to forego their holidays, he will make a similar request to colliery managements and their officials.

Major Lloyd George

I am advised that my Regional Controller has discussed with the Durham Miners' Association the advisability of miners' holidays being postponed until later in the year, but no official request for their cancellation has been made. The question of asking colliery managements and officials to forego their holidays does not, therefore, arise.
