Company and Factory Agreements

HC Deb 10 July 1969 vol 786 cc277-8W

6. Mr. Hamling

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity how many company and factory agreements have now been referred to the Commission on Industrial Relations.

Mrs. Castle

Replies to my first invitations to companies to register their procedural agreements are still coming in. They are being examined in my Department and I have not referred any of them to the C.I.R. In dealing with the three cases currently under reference concern ing particular companies, the Commission will no doubt examine all the agreements it considers relevant.
