§ Dr. McDonaldasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement concerning the dispute at the Isle of Grain power station.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerI understand that the Central Electricity Generating Board is making new contractural arrangements which may help in resolving this dispute. Officials of the unions concerned have met the CEGB and expect to discuss the matter further with the Engineering Employers' Federation and Babcock and Wilcox on 25th October. I hope that this long running dispute will soon be resolved.
