HC Deb 15 November 1949 vol 469 c189W
71. Mr. Rankin

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if, before a final decision is reached on the recommendations of the Masterman Report, he will arrange for joint discussions through the machinery of the National Whitley Council to try and find an agreed settlement.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

His Majesty's Government consider that it would be appropriate, before final decisions are reached on these matters within the general principles of the Masterman Report, that there should be joint discussions through the machinery of the National Whitley Council.
