asked the Postmaster-General if he will place in the Library a copy of the shorthand note of the conference presided over by him on 26th September, 1950, between representatives of the Engineering Officers (Telecommunications) Association and the Post Office Engineering Union.

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will make available to the House the verbatim report of the meeting held on 26th September between himself and members of the Post Office Engineering Union and E.O.(T.)A.

No shorthand record of this conference was taken, but I have placed in the Library copies of a full report of the proceedings.

Can my right hon. Friend assist further conferences by making it clear that the Trades Union Congress is not affiliated to the Labour Party?

That is so, Sir.
