§ 13. Mr. MANDERasked the Minister of Labour to what extent regular reports are supplied to her Department by the joint industrial councils and similar bodies now functioning in industry; and whether any of the meetings are attended by her officials?
§ Miss BONDFIELDExcluding trade joint councils associated with the Government Service, on all of which my Department is represented, the meetings of 33 joint councils and similar bodies are regularly attended by a liaison officer appointed by the Department. The Department receives reports of proceedings of the councils referred to above, and also of a number of councils that have no liaison officer.
§ Mr. MANDERWill the right hon. Lady endeavour to get reports from all those councils, so as to keep closely in touch with what they are doing?
§ Miss BONDFIELDWe do endeavour to do that.
