§ Mr. Gallacherasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that construction on the Hampden bomber is being held up through a dispute at the Crickle-wood factory of Messrs. Handley Page, Limited; that the dispute, which affects the electricians, has been caused by the employment of non-union labour; and will he take steps to bring about a satisfactory end to this dispute?
§ Mr. Lennox BoydI am aware of the circumstances of this dispute. According to my information the stoppage of 1489W work is not recognised by the trade union concerned. After full consideration I am of opinion that intervention by the Department would not serve any useful purpose.
