HC Deb 10 February 1966 vol 724 cc117-8W
Mr. Longden

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what have been the results of his further approach to both sides of the printing industry following the report of the National Board for Prices and Incomes on that industry.

Mr. Albu

Both sides are in agreement that the industry's Joint Manpower Committee should consider all questions relating to the efficient use of manpower. They are ready to discuss all the recommendations of the Prices and Incomes Board and the outstanding issue remaining is the scope of the discussions which might be held in the Joint Manpower Committee under an independent Chairman. My right hon. Friend is keeping in close touch with both sides on this matter.
