I regret the continuance of this trade dispute which is having adverse effects on industries in various parts of the country.
As the Deputy is aware, there is well established machinery for the settlement of trade disputes. I am hopeful that the parties to this dispute can reach a settlement by making full use of that machinery.
In the circumstances, I do not propose to intervene in the dispute.
