HC Deb 24 October 1966 vol 734 c98W
58. Mr. Derek Page

asked the Minister of Labour if he will seek consultations with trade unions and employers in the building industry regarding the increase in the numbers of workers classified as self-employed.

Mr. Gunter

My National Joint Advisory Council has discussed the problem of labour-only sub-contractors in the construction industry (including those who are self-employed), and officials of my Department and of the Ministry of Public Building and Works have since had informal discussions with representatives of the employers and trade unions concerned.
