asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the docks strike.

21. Mr. Dykes

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on developments in the docks strike.

Mr. Ridley

All ports were back in operation a week ago, thus ending a strike which need not and should not have taken place. In consequence, serious damage to business and to jobs and workers in other industries was averted.
