HC Deb 22 June 1915 vol 72 cc1038-9
48. Sir ARTHUR MARKHAM

asked the Prime Minister whether he will introduce legislation, similar to that passed by the Labour Governments of Australia and New Zealand, providing for compulsory arbitration in all trade disputes and rendering illegal any lock-out or strike of workmen, such legislation to be for the period of the I War only?

General IVOR PHILIPPS

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. A statement on this matter will be made to-morrow by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Munitions in introducing the Bill dealing with questions affecting the supply of munitions of war.
