§ 101 and 102. Mr. Carlisleasked the Minister of Labour (1) why he has decided not to set up a court of inquiry into the long-standing dispute at the works of Roberts Arundel Limited, Chestergate, Stockport;
(2) whether he is aware that the longstanding dispute at Roberts Arundel Limited has led to the Stockport branch of the Amalgamated Engineering Union black-listing the supplies to, and the products of, Roberts Arundel Limited; and what action he now proposes to take to settle this dispute.
§ Mr. GunterI have had several meetings with representatives of both sides in this dispute. In my view a court of inquiry would not help to bring about180W a settlement at this stage. I understand that there have been some instances of "blacking". I am continuing to keep in touch with developments and if it appears at any time that it would help if I were to intervene again, I will not hesitate to do so.
