HC Deb 07 May 1969 vol 783 c101W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what action she is taking to prevent further unofficial strikes in the Hull Docks, in view of the need to maintain exports of fish to Russia.

Mr. Harold Walker

The Government's proposals for dealing with unofficial strikes in general are set out in the White Paper "In Place of Strife". In the docks in particular, it is fully expected that the implementation of the second stage of the Devlin modernisation programme, negotiations on which are currently taking place, will bring about a considerable and lasting improvement in labour relations in the industry.
