HC Deb 19 March 1957 vol 567 cc187-8
10. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Labour what proposals he has for amending the Industrial Disputes Order.

Mr. Iain Macleod

This subject is still in an early stage of consideration and I have no statement to make at present.

Dame Irene Ward

My right hon. Friend will bear in mind, will he not, that his predecessor gave a pledge to amend the Order, but that it has been a long time under consideration?

Mr. Macleod

Yes, I will. We have now started these discussions, and I hope to make progress in them.
