STATEMENTS ON A MATTER OF OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Senator S. Syvret:

Sir, before we adjourn, I had hoped we were going to have an announcement from the Assistant Minister of Economic Development. Has that been shelved?

The Deputy Bailiff :

Well, there are certainly 2 matters I want to deal with before we formally adjourn, but, Minister, do you wish to say anything?

12.   Deputy A.J.H. Maclean:

I would like to make just a very brief statement, not in fact the statement that I was going to make.  There  have  been  frantic  negotiations  this  afternoon  at  the  airport,  in  relation  to  the industrial relations dispute that is intended for tomorrow morning. We believe that negotiations have been successful and indeed that the strike for tomorrow morning has been cancelled but I am waiting for further details. I would like, if I may, Sir, to make a fuller statement in the morning, on the matter.
