HC Deb 31 July 1947 vol 441 c69W
Brigadier Rayner

asked the Minister of Labour what action he proposes to take over the demarcation disputes between engineers and plumbers about the bending of pipes which are holding up the completion of new ships.

Mr. Isaacs

I assume that the hon. Member refers to recent stoppages of work arising from an inter-union difference at the Edinburgh establishment of Messrs. Munro and Miller. I am glad to say that work has now been resumed and that joint discussions are proceeding between the unions concerned.
