HC Deb 28 November 1945 vol 416 c1334

If no agreed scheme is in operation by the prescribed date, then, without prejudice to the Minister's power to prepare a scheme himself which would be subject to inquiry if objection were lodged, the two sides of the Industry can be assured that if a joint submission is made:

  1. (a)setting out the extent of agreement between the two sides for the provisions of a scheme; and
  2. (b)defining the issues on which the two sides have different views;
the Minister will, before preparing a scheme of his own, cause an independent inquiry to be held on the basis of the joint submission.
