asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is in a position to say when the canteen for railway workers who are continually on outside work at Rotherham, will be built; and whether negotiations, which commenced a year ago, will be completed this year, so that a start may be made with the building?
As my hon. Friend is, no doubt, aware, arrangements have been made for the provision of a considerable number of canteens for railway workers. It has been recently agreed that the railway companies and the railwaymen's trade unions shall jointly decide the order in which canteens which are not yet under construction shall be built. The canteen at Rotherham will thus receive the priority which the company and the unions agree to give it.
