HC Deb 25 July 1966 vol 732 c180W
56. Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Minister of Labour what proposals he has, pursuant to Her Majesty's Government's policy on wages, to amend Section 8 of the Terms and Conditions of Employment Act, 1959 under which awards of the Industrial Court have effect as implied terms of contracts of employment.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The Government are discussing the detailed application of the arrangements for the standstill with management and unions and a White Paper will be issued in the near future. I must ask the right hon. Member to await its publication.
