HC Deb 22 November 1966 vol 736 cc269-70W
58. Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Labour if he will initiate further discussions to ensure that productivity agreements are arrived at, following his intervention in the rail dispute earlier this year.

Mr. Gunter

The Government have taken, and will continue to take as required, initiatives to promote discussions on productivity, including the more efficient use of manpower. Some of these discussions may lead in appropriate cases to productivity agreements, which will have to comply with the requirements of the Productivity, Prices and Incomes policy.
