  • ... that negotiations to end the 1942 Betteshanger miners' strike took place at Maidstone Prison as three union officials had been imprisoned there? "At the end of the trial, the three union leaders, considered to be the instigators of the strike, were sentenced to hard labour in prison ... On 28 January 1942, an agreement was reached to end the strike. The negotiations took place in Maidstone prison, in the presence of the three strike leaders, David Rhys Grenfell (Secretary for Mines) and Ebby Edwards (secretary of the Mineworkers’ Federation of Great Britain)." from: Mak, Ariane (2015).

Thanks AleatoryPonderings, I've looked through the JSTOR article you provided but I don't think there's anything useful there (it summarises the events in a paragraph and is only mentioned in relation to a later case where imprisonment resulted in walkouts). I would happily have reviewed the Polish-Czech relations article for DYK as part of that QPQ but it wasn't to be. I don't mind using one of the other QPQs if desired. Glad you enjoyed the article! - Dumelow (talk) 15:52, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping All good re: the article I cited – the coverage did look quite minimal. As for QPQ, no need to use another in my view – makes sense that events intervened to moot that review. All good from my perspective! AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:02, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
