Description

Reports and transcripts of inquiries, which were kept by the National Dock Labour Board (NLDB) Head Office for reference purposes.

Several of the inquiries were held at the request of the Minister of Labour under the Industrial Courts Act 1919 and the Dock Workers (Regulation of Employment) Act 1946. One report results from a Royal Commission, others from departmental inquiries. A number concern the Docks and Harbours Act 1966. Some pre-date the creation of the NDLB in 1947.

The documents are all bound volumes (except for BK 29/7 and BK 29/16, which are in file covers). They contain printed reports, which in some cases are command papers, and printed or typed transcripts and minutes of evidence.
