HC Deb 08 August 1966 vol 733 c233W
48. Mr. Grant

asked the Minister of Labour what will be the functions of the Industrial Court during the wage standstill; and what instructions he has given to the Court.

Mr. Gunter

While awards will be subject to the requirements of the periods of standstill and severe restraint, the Industrial Court will continue to carry out its statutory functions; although I have power to make rules regulating the procedure of the Court I have no power to give instructions to the Court.
