HC Deb 26 July 1955 vol 544 c102W
57. Captain Soames

asked the Minister of Labour when he intends to recommence publishing information on copartnership schemes in the Ministry of Labour Gazette.

Mr. Watkinson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer my right hon. and learned Friend gave on 7th July to my hon. Friend the Member for Barry (Mr. Gower).

70. Mr. Gower

asked the Minister of Labour to institute discussions about profit-sharing, co-partnership, pension and other schemes in industry with industrial and trade organisations, the Co-operative movement, the trades unions, and other bodies having experience of operating such schemes.

Mr. Watkinson

No. While my right hon. and learned Friend will always be ready to consider requests from representative organisations to discuss or arrange for discussion about these subjects, he does not think it is for him to initiate action for the institution of such discussions.
