§ Colonel StanleyI am consulting the Governor with regard to the first two parts of the Question. With regard to the third part, the strike took place without warning and the strikers rejected all invitations to negotiate with the Government. With regard to the fourth part, I would refer to my reply to the hon. and gallant Member for St. Pancras, North (Wing-Commander Grant-Ferris) on 31st January.
