HC Deb 24 June 1964 vol 697 c96W
Mr. Duffy

asked the Minister of Labour how many wool textile firms in the West Riding of Yorkshire make special transport arrangements to bring women daily from the south Yorkshire coalfield; how many women are involved; and what is the furthest distance covered.

Mr. Whitelaw

The latest available information relates to last December when 52 firms were known to have such arrangements. They involved 2,850 women and the furthest distance was 37 miles.
