HC Deb 11 July 1946 vol 425 c575
51 and 52. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Labour (1) how many unions there are in the Scottish banking industry; and

(2) what conciliation machinery exists for the purpose of settling disputes in the Scottish banks; and to what extent it is functioning.

Mr. Isaacs

In addition to the National Union of Bank Employees, which incorporates the former Scottish Bankers Association, there are eight associations, each catering for the staff of the various banks in Scotland. These latter associations are members of the Central Council of Scottish Bank Staff Associations, which is a party to a Joint Conciliation Council of the Scottish Banking Industry. I have no information as to the extent to which it is functioning.
