HC Deb 27 February 1973 vol 851 c312W
34. Mr. Bidwell

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the most recent date when his Department was involved in any attempt to conciliate in the industrial dispute at Fine Tubes, Plymouth.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

My right hon. Friend has had to conclude that in all the circumstances a joint meeting would not be helpful at the present time. There have, however, been separate meetings with the parties, the most recent on 31st January.
