HC Deb 25 July 1912 vol 41 c1375W
Mr. CARR-GOMM

asked the Prime Minister whether he has received any Report from the Industrial Council with regard to the best means of securing the observance of agreements; and, if not, whether he will ask the Industrial Council to report to him forthwith, in view of the bearing of this matter upon the strike in the Port of London?

Mr. BUXTON

I am informed that a considerable amount of evidence has already been heard, but a large number of bodies representing both employers and employed have expressed their desire and intention to send witnesses. Until the whole of the evidence is available, I think it would be premature to ask the Council to make a report.
