HC Deb 24 May 1939 vol 347 c2315W
Mr. R. C. Morrison

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware of the dispute involving stoppage of work at the cabinet works of Messrs. H. Schuman, Limited, Tottenham; and in view of the fact that 130 persons have been involved since the 24th April, will his conciliation officer approach the firm with a view to the opening of negotiations to terminate the stoppage?

Mr. E. Brown

This dispute was reported to my Department at an early stage and arrangements were made for meetings between the parties concerned. These meetings failed to produce a complete settlement of the matters in dispute and a stoppage of work took place on 24th April. Efforts have since been made to terminate the stoppage and are being continued.
