HC Deb 25 March 1971 vol 814 c198W
Mr. Judd

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will make a progress report on negotiations for a productivity deal at the Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment, Portsmouth.

Mr. Kirk

In the circumstances which currently exist at the Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment of a continuing "work to rule" by laboratory mechanics, I regret that no progress towards a productivity agreement is possible.
