§ 28. Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will estimate the number of working days lost on 14 May.
§ Mr. MayhewMy Department's statistics of industrial stoppages relate only to terms and conditions of work, and exclude political action such as that on 14 May. We cannot make a close estimate of numbers of people involved, but such information as is available suggests that more than 90 per cent. of the work force went to work last Wednesday.
