FOR PRESS: PM. No. 76/ 1972
OIL INDUSTRY DISPUTE
MEETING OF PARLIAMENT
Statement by the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. William
McMahon, C. i. M. P.
On Sunday night in a national broadcast on the oil
industry dispute, I made an appeal to the men on strike to
return to work so that their outstanding claims could be
dealt with by the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission.
I said then that if the men did not go back to
work, I would arrange for Parliament to be called together
this week. Whilst I am still hopeful that all the men will
return to work, I am, in accordance with my previous
announcement, requesting the Presiding Officers to take
steps to call the Parliament together for Friday, 4 August,
at 10.30 a. m.
CANBERRA, 1 August, 1972. _ j
