HC Deb 24 October 1950 vol 478 c332W
100. Mr. Gibson

asked the Minister of Labour what action he proposes to take to call to the attention of the London Master Printers Association that, by locking out nearly 5,000 London compositors, they are infringing the conditions of the Employment and Arbitration Order.

Mr. Isaacs

This matter is in the hands of the Director of Public Prosecutions and my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General. It must not be assumed that only one side to the dispute in the printing trade may be in breach of the Conditions of Employment and National Arbitration Order, 1940.

101. Mr. Gibson

asked the Minister of Labour when he expects to receive the report of the inquiry into the difficulties which have arisen between the London printing trade and the compositors.

Mr. Isaacs

The report has been presented to Parliament as a Command Paper and copies are now available in the Vote Office
