HC Deb 19 October 1950 vol 478 c280W
Surgeon Lieut.-Commander Bennett

asked the Minister of Labour if he will give the reason for the tardiness of any intervention on his part in the recent illegal unofficial strike in the gas industry.

Mr. Isaacs

There was no delay in dealing with this matter so far as my Department was concerned. Immediate contact was made with the Gas Council and the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Trade Unions and later with the North Thames Gas Board.
