HC Deb 24 June 1952 vol 502 cc151-2W
57. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Minister of Labour how many of his Department's part-time offices have been closed in Scotland in the last six months; and what is the estimated total saving in administrative costs.

Sir W. Monckton

Two: the estimated saving is nearly £400 a year.

58. Mr. Hamilton

asked the Minister of Labour the total saving resulting from

received in my Department on 15th May, 22nd April and 26th May respectively.

In the light of these observations I have suggested to the parties that there should be a meeting of the Joint Standing Committee, composed of representatives of the Players' Union, the Football League and the Football Association, at which I hope that progress will be made in reaching agreed settlements on the matters which were in dispute. I understand that a meeting of the Committee has now been arranged to take place in the second week in July.
