Mr. Corbett
asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many stoppages of work due to industrial disputes have taken place in 1977 up to the end of September.
Mr. Golding
The provisional number of stoppages of work due to industrial disputes beginning in 1977 up to the end of September is 2,057. The figures for the current year are subject to continuous review as fresh information is received. The figure given is, therefore, slightly higher than that published in the October Gazette.
