Mr. Lee:

Would not the Minister agree that no matter what arrangements have gone wrong at Acton, certainly these men have not broken anything like the number of industrial agreements that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has just broken? When discussing this matter with the Ministry of Labour, will the hon. Gentleman take into consideration that in this instance the President of the A.E.U. has asked the Minister to intervene but that the Minister has said that, because the strike is unofficial, he will not do so? Will not the Minister of State say to his right hon. Friend that it is now becoming such an aggravated dispute that he ought to intervene?
