HC Deb 25 July 1939 vol 350 c1282W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that a strike has been proceeding for the last few weeks in the Torridge Vale Dairy, Torrington, Devon; that thousands of gallons of milk are being wasted each day as a consequence; and whether the officers of his Department are taking any steps to bring the parties together?

Mr. E. Brown

My officers have been in touch with the parties throughout the dispute but no settlement appears possible at the moment. The good offices of my Department remain available.
