HC Deb 23 January 1953 vol 510 c62W
Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the Minister of Labour to make a statement upon the proposals of Her Majesty's Government for bringing both sides of industry into closer relations.

Mr. Watkinson

As I informed the hon. Member for West Ham, North (Mr. Lewis) on 2nd December, my right hon. and learned Friend is placing before the National Joint Advisory Council proposals designed to encourage the adoption of enlightened standards in industry. Her Majesty's Government hope that these proposals, which will now come before the National Joint Advisory Council for consideration, will contribute to closer relations between both sides of industry to their mutual benefit.
