HC Deb 26 July 1956 vol 557 c56W
Sir F. Medlicott

asked the Minister of Labour if, with a view to improving industrial relations and preventing injustice and resentment on both sides of industry, he will introduce legislation which will provide that, except in the case of casual labour, no contract of employment shall be able to be terminated by either side on less than one month's notice, without the agreement of the other party.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I think these questions are better dealt with by agreement than by legislation.
