Excerpt from The Restoration of Trade Union Customs After the War: A Statement and Analysis of the Government Guarantees The following arrangements shall have effect during the war. And shall in no way prejudice any of the parties on any of the points covered, and the parties shall. At the termination Of the war, as the Federation and the Unions now undertake, revert to the conditions which existed in the respective shops on the outbreak of hostilities. These proposals were rejected by the Trade Unions, and it was after their rejection that the Government first formally intervened. Already, on January 2nd, the War Office and the Admiralty had written to the Trade Unions asking them to accelerate production, and the Board Of Trade had urged the importance of a settlement. On February 4th the Government appointed the Committee on Production, which, during the following months, issued a series of reports on which subsequent Government action was largely based. In addition, on February 8th, Mr. Tennant made in the House of Commons his much criticised speech calling for the relaxation Of Trade Union rules.
