§ Mr. DEVLINasked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been called to the dispute existing between the engineering employers and the iron moulders in Belfast; and whether the 52W Ministry of Labour will take steps to bring these parties together and put an end to the present dispute, which is inflicting hardship on a considerable section of the community?
§ Sir R. HORNEThe dispute is being closely watched by my Department. At the present time the Engineering Employers' Federation and the trade unions concerned are in communication with each other, and I hope that it will be found practicable to have a meeting during this week at which I trust progress towards a settlement will be made.
