HC Deb 13 February 1951 vol 484 cc180-1
20. Mr. Heathcoat Amory

asked the Minister of Labour whether the committee which was set up last year to investigate conditions in the London Docks has yet reported; and whether it is his intention to publish the report.

Mr. Lee

I am informed by the Chairman of the Committee that the report will be available early next month. The report will be published.

Mr. Amory

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that there must be something badly wrong with labour relations in this industry, and that if this Committee can open the way to an improvement of these relations, this report will be very welcome to the whole nation?

Mr. Lee

I am quite sure that the report will be very welcome.

Sir Ralph Glyn

Is it intended to set up a similar committee to make a report on other disputes?

Mr. Lee

That is another question.
