HC Deb 01 December 1949 vol 470 cc110-1W
83. Mr. Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the Joint National Council for the Probation Service will hold its first meeting.

Mr. Ede

I have made proposals for the establishment of a joint negotiating committee on conditions of employment of probation officers, and a draft constitution is being considered by the associations who would be represented on the committee. The committee will be constituted and will meet as soon as agreement can be reached with the associations.
