JOINT INDUSTRIAL COUNCILS.

HC Deb 18 November 1937 vol 329 cc552-4

16. Mr. Mander

asked the Minister of Labour the names of the industries in which joint industrial councils now exist; the approximate number of employes involved; and what councils have been formed and ceased to exist in the last two years?

Mr. E. Brown

I will, if I may, circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of the joint industrial councils in operation according to the latest available information.

During the last two years three councils have been reconstituted on a wider basis, one council re-established, and three new councils formed, while no councils have been dissolved. I regret I am not in possession of statistics showing the numbers of workpeople involved.

Mr. Mander

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what is the total number of these councils?

Mr. Brown

I have not made up the total. It is a very long schedule. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will do the calculation himself.

Following is the list:
