§ Mr. SHORTasked the Minister of Labour whether he has now received the Report of the Trades Dispute Disqualification Committee; and, if not, will be refer the issue to the Law Officers of the Crown so that the express wishes of Parliament might be met without further delay?
§ Mr. SHAWThe Committee have not yet reported, but I am expecting them to do so shortly. Nothing would be gained by a reference to the Law Officers, as the question at issue is not the interpretation of the law, but whether the law should be altered.
