Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will seek to meet representatives of the trade union movement, Protestant workers' organisations, the Northern Ireland Labour Party and the Social Democratic Labour Party to discuss a common strategy for the reduction of tension and the creation of new employment prospects, particularly in the public sector in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Channon

It is our aim to do everything possible to reduce tension and enhance employment prospects. I shall be very glad to meet bodies representative of all shades of opinion in Northern Ireland which are prepared to work towards this end.
