HC Deb 04 April 1967 vol 744 c30W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Labour what action his Department have taken or intend taking to implement the Government's policy of ensuring that employers carry out their responsibility of ensuring adequate provision for employees temporarily stood-off because of shortage of work, on a basis at least equal to National Insurance and unemployment benefits.

Mr. Gunter

My officials are arranging to discuss progress in the provision of guarantee arrangements with representatives of the Trades Union Congress, the Confederation of British Industry and the nationalised industries.
