§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects to publish a draft of the code of practice on disclosure of information to independent trade unions during the course of collective bargaining; and when he expects to lay this before Parliament.
§ Mr. BoothI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 10th November—[Vol. 899, c. 504]. I cannot forecast how long preparation of the code and consultation on the draft will take; but the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service is fully aware of the urgency and importance of this task.
