§ Dr. Edmund Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will refer to the Advisory, Conciliation 885W and Arbitration Service the present industrial dispute involving training staff of the British Gas Corporation; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BoothI understand that the ACAS has already seen both parties to the dispute. At present, however, talks are in progress within the National Joint Council for Gas Staffs, and I hope that these will lead to a speedy resolution of the dispute.
