Written Answers. - Industrial Disputes.
I regret the inconvenience caused to the farming community due to the industrial action taken by the CPSU members and I am anxious to resolve the dispute. Department officials had contact with CPSU representatives in recent days. No formula for resolving the dispute has emerged. However, further informal contacts are continuing and a formal meeting has been arranged for tomorrow.
