HC Deb 15 August 1940 vol 364 c930
15. Mr. Thorne

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will give information in connection with the transference of labour and the recognition of trade union cards agreed upon by the various trade unions?

Mr. Bevin

If my hon. Friend has in mind the recognition of trade union cards by other unions, this is a matter which is not within my control and has to be settled by the trade unions themselves.

Mr. Isaacs

Is my right hon. Friend aware that very satisfactory arrangements are being made through the Trades Union Congress with all the unions affected?

Mr. Bevin

I think the Trades Union Congress is the most harmonious body in the world.
