London Printing Dispute (Report)

HC Deb 26 October 1950 vol 478 cc391-2W

Captain Ryder

asked the Minister of Labour if he will make a statement regarding the dispute in the London printing trade.

Mr. Isaacs

The report of the Court of Inquiry into the London printing dispute was laid before both Houses of Parliament on 23rd October. I have been informed by the London Master Printers Association that they accept the Court's recommendation that negotiations should recommence immediately and are prepared to make a new Agreement on the lines suggested by the Court. I understand that the Court's report is still under consideration by the London Society of Compositors.
