HC Deb 27 November 1957 vol 578 c115W
10. Mr. Lee

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will outline the procedure to be followed by trade unions whose applications for wage increases have been agreed in the negotiating machinery of their industry or profession, and vetoed by a Minister of the Crown.

Mr. Iain Macleod

As the hon. Member knows, the question of approval by a Minister of the Crown arises in very few cases. The procedure to be followed by a trade union in such cases will no doubt depend on the particular circumstances and will be a matter for the consideration of the trade union concerned.
