HC Deb 29 June 1973 vol 858 c426W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will use his good offices in an effort to end the strike by the printers of HANSARD.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

The employees concerned are not on strike. A small group is restricting its output in support of a claim for a higher increase than has been offered within the pay limit. Officials of Her Majesty's Stationery Office are continuing their efforts to reach a settlement with the trade union concerned. I see no basis at present on which I could usefully intervene.
