The question is very wide, but, so far as the recent White Paper (Command Paper 7018) is concerned, all possible steps will be taken to inform both sides of industry of the facts and considerations presented in the White Paper. These facts and considerations will form the basis of talks by speakers in factories, and the Central Office of Information are now working on a series of factory posters setting out the salient features of the paper. It is hoped, also, that the subject matter of the paper will be fully covered in broadcasts. As will be seen from the Foreword to the White Paper, the National Joint Advisory Council has agreed to cooperate with the Government in disseminating information as widely as possible about the general economic state of the country. In addition, my right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour and National Service proposes to discuss with the National Joint Advisory Council certain important problems to which the White Paper draws attention.
