HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 c381W
Mr. Judd

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the current industrial action being taken by civilian workers in naval dockyards and other defence establishments.

Lord Balniel

Over the past few days there have been token strikes and other forms of industrial action at a number of Ministry of Defence establishments including the Royal Dockyards. These are said to arise from dissatisfaction with progress in the central negotiations for the pay of the Industrial Civil Service.
