HC Deb 24 May 1960 vol 624 c22W
54. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware of the adverse effect upon the medical services in the Island of Malta of the strike of doctors there; what steps are being taken to negotiate with them concerning their claims and grievances or to bring them before an arbitration tribunal: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The strike was called off on 14th May, and the points at issue are being discussed in the Medical Advisory and Executive Board, on which the Malta Government and the Medical Officers' Union are both represented.
