HC Deb 29 July 1957 vol 574 c126W
Mr. J. E. B. Hill

asked the Minister of Labour what number of workers normally handle produce at Covent Garden; and what estimated percentage of this norm has been represented by workers, regular and emergency, who have been handling produce at Covent Garden during the current strike.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The number of workers normally handling produce at Covent Garden has been variously estimated at 1,200 to 1,600. I have no information on the second part of the Question.
