§ 95. Mr. ANDERSONasked the Minister of Munitions whether he is now in a position to state the intentions of his Department with respect to the repeated promises to give legal sanction to official pledges regarding the restoration of trade union customs; whether it is intended to introduce legislation on this question; and, if so, when?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of MUNITIONS (Mr. Kellaway)No decision has yet been taken as to the introduction of legislation this Session.
§ Mr. ANDERSONSeeing that the hon. Gentleman promised long ago that it would be introduced, what steps are likely to be taken, or is any decision going to be reached at all?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYThe hon. Member will recognise that recent events have not made it easy for the Government to take a decision with regard to introducing new legislation. I cannot say more than that at the moment.
