HC Deb 15 February 1965 vol 706 c162W
61. Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Labour what action he proposes to take with regard to restrictive practices in the shipbuilding industry.

Mr. Gunter

This problem must be tackled primarily by the employers in consultation with the unions, in line with the undertaking accepted by industry in the Joint Statement of Intent; but I shall naturally not neglect any opportunities of encouraging negotiations.
