HC Deb 05 November 1958 vol 594 cc75-6W
94. Mr. Edelman

asked the Minister of Labour to what extent it is his policy to encourage the sharing of available work by agreement between workers and management in cases where otherwise there would be progressive redundancy.

Mr. Iain Macleod

This is a matter for decision by the firms concerned according to the circumstances of each case. I would, however, urge employers to give their workpeople as much notice of their intentions as possible.
