68. Mr. Orbach

asked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the industrial dispute at Messrs. Thrupp and Maberly, Willesden; and what steps he is taking to bring it to an end.

71. Mr. Collins

asked the Minister of Labour what action he is taking to settle the dispute in which 500 employees of the Thrupp and Maberly branch of the Rootes group are involved.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I understand that the recognised procedure of the engineering industry is available for dealing with this dispute. My Department has not been asked to intervene, but my officers are ready to assist in finding a basis for a resumption of work if the parties so desire.
