asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity when she expects to receive the Commission for Industrial Relations Report on Elliotts of Newbury Limited.

Mr. Harold Walker

The Report of the Commission on Industrial Relations on Elliotts of Newbury Ltd. was published on Wednesday, 18th March, 1970 (Cmnd. 4311).

Mr. Brown

Is my hon. Friend aware that in the report compliments were paid to the responsibility of the trade unions? Would he try to encourage the employers to foster harmonious relations in the industry by coming to terms with the union?

It is my hope that the company will speedily respond to the recommendations of the C.I.R.
