Mr. Alan Lee Williamsasked the Minister of Labour what is the number of Thames lightermen unemployed as a result of the London docks dispute; and what is estimated to be the cost to the companies retaining labour.
§ Mr. HattersleyPartly as a result of the London dock strike, some lighterage employers have not had work for all the men in their employment. The Dock Labour Board has as yet no estimate of the extent of this underemployment.
