HC Deb 26 January 1977 vol 924 cc624-5W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many industrial disputes involving the printing of the Official Report and the Order Paper have taken place during the last two years; and if he will make a statement on the non-appearance of the Official Report of 14th January.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

There were no industrial disputes involving printing of theOfficial Report and the Order Paper in 1975. In 1976 there were three separate disputes involving printing unions which affected Parliamentary Papers. The non-appearance of the Official Report of 14th January was due to an industrial dispute involving members of the National Graphical Association at the Parliamentary Press. The Official Report of 14th January was published on 19th January.
