HC Deb 07 March 1973 vol 852 cc147-8W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he is aware that British-recruited staff of the East African Airways in London are to have an indefinite strike against Africanisation of their jobs; and whether he will offer the use of his conciliation department to bring about a settlement of this dispute.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

My Department has been conciliating in the dispute between East African Airways and the Transport and General Workers Union. As a result of further discussions with both parties on 2nd March the strike notice was withdrawn and negotiations are continuing.
