HC Deb 15 December 1943 vol 395 c1563W
Mr. Fraser

asked the Minister of Labour whether he can make a statement on the dispute at a factory of which he has been informed?

Mr. McCorquodale

Difficulty has arisen at this factory through the refusal of a number of men to perform duties allotted to them in accordance with a recent agreement between the management and the union. Directions under Defence Regulation 58A have been given to a number of the men concerned to perform the services in question. Any appeal against these directions will be for consideration by the local appeal board in the first instance.
