§ 85. Mr. Loganasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that about 3,000 dockers in Northend, Liverpool Docks, were idle last week, and that an increase is expected this week; and what action he is taking to facilitate full working for Liverpool dockers.
§ Sir W. MoncktonThe number of dockers at present surplus to requirements at Liverpool is lower than the average for the ports of the country as a whole. The unemployment is partly seasonal and partly due to a decline in the volume of imports.
