HC Deb 04 December 1969 vol 792 cc324-5W
43. Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will take steps to bring to an end the discrimination frequently operating in industry between staff and production employees in toilet provision, canteen facilities, and pension schemes; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Harold Walker

It is the Government's view that such distinctions are outdated. There is evidence that they are gradually being removed, but my right hon. Friend is anxious that progress should be more rapid.
