§ Mr. Harold WalkerIn the 12 months ended 31st March, 1968, the latest period for which figures are available, there was one stoppage of work due to an industrial dispute involving non-industrial civil servants. About 36 civil servants took part and about 60 working days were lost. Figures are not compiled in respect of industrial action not involving a stop-age of work, or in respect of industrial civil servants as a separate group.
