§ Sir C. Osborneasked the Minister of Labour, in view of Vauxhall Motors' warning that unless their workers' work-to-rule attitude, which has crippled production, ceases, the whole production line would have to be shut down, if he will send his conciliation officers to the plant to attempt to end the dispute and get the men back to work; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GunterI understand that the rate of working at the Luton factory is reasonably normal and that discussions are continuing between management and unions. Intervention by my Ministry would not help at present.
