HC Deb 20 March 1961 vol 637 c7W
76. Mr. C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that the strike of Yorkshire coal miners has resulted in uneconomic use of power-loading and other mining machinery; whether he will intervene in this matter in order to secure a resumption of work; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Hare

My hon. Friend will know that there was a full resumption of work by 13th March. I am aware of the serious effects of this unofficial strike and deplore the loss of production it caused.
