§ Mr. R. C. Morrisonasked 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. BrownThis 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.
