aware that Decca Radar Limited, Maiden Way, is in breach of the Fair Wages Clause in Government contracts by reason of its failure to implement the decision of the Industrial Dispute Tribunal Award, No. 840, dated 14th May, 1956; that notice of an official dispute has been served by the Clerical and Administrative Workers Union, which has authorised its members to withdraw their labour on Monday, 19th November; what action he proposes to take in respect of existing contracts placed by the Admiralty with this firm, and in respect of any future contracts; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ward

I am advised that the dispute in question has now been settled. The points made in the latter part of the hon. Member's Question do not therefore arise.

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty the total value of existing contracts placed by the Admiralty with Decca Radar Limited.

Mr. Ward

It would be contrary to established practice to make public the value of Admiralty contracts held by a particular firm.
