HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 cc210-1W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will arrange urgent talks with unions and other interested organisations on the concept of plant bargaining as outlined in the Donovan Report.

Mr. Harold Walker

I would refer my hon. Friend to my right hon. Friend's statement on 13th June, 1968. Urgent consultations have begun with the Trades Union Congress, the Confederation of British Industry, and the nationalised industries about the Report's recommendations, including those on the reform of collective bargaining. We shall be glad to consider any comments by other interested organisations.—[Vol. 766, c. 449.]
