§ Mr. N. Macleanasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether he will investigate the conditions in an Ordnance Factory, of which information of its locality has been given him, in view of the serious unrest prevailing among the workers due to their wastage of material and time, the belief of nepotism in promotions, to positions and abuse of regulations?
§ Mr. Harold MacmillanI am not aware of any unrest of the nature suggested. I have already informed the hon. Member of the machinery by which workers' representations can be discussed with the local management or alternatively upon 203W the Ministry of Supply Industrial Council, and my Noble Friend is only too anxious to facilitate such discussions at all Royal Ordnance Factories where matters calling for investigation arise. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the Constitution of the Industrial Council, which fully explains its wide scope.
