§ Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenportasked the Minister of Labour what action he proposes to take on the recent Report of the inquiry into the steel industry dispute, in view of the findings that the employers were rigid and intransigent and the unions acted in a precipitate and unconstitutional manner.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodOn receipt of the Court of Inquiry's Report I sent copies to both parties in the usual way. I do not consider that any further action on my part is called for. The Court's conclusion which related to an immediate increase in wages was accepted by both sides and the other conclusions are at present under consideration.
