§ Mr. Parryasked the Paymaster General if he will meet the hon. Member for Liverpool, Riverside, to discuss the sacking of 270 transport workers by the Crosville Bus Company at Liverpool; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. LeeThe resolution of disputes is a matter for the parties concerned. The assistance of the independent Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service is available to them and I understand that ACAS officials have been in touch with the parties. I do not think, therefore, that a meeting with the hon. Member would be appropriate at this stage.
