HC Deb 22 October 1969 vol 788 c249W
Mr. John Page

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity, in view of her policy to exclude penal clauses from industrial relations legislation, how compliance with the legislation, by employers, employees and trade unions, will be enforced.

Mr. Harold Walker

The Government's policy was set out in the statement to the House by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister of Thursday, 19th June, 1969.—[Vol. 785, c. 700–701.]

Mr. John Page

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity when she will publish a White Paper on the next stage of the Government's industrial relations proposals; and whether she will include in it the additions she proposes to make to Part II of the 1966 Act when it is reactivated.

Mr. Harold Walker

The Government's proposals for industrial relations legislation will be announced after further consultations with the T.U.C., the C.B.I. and other organisations concerned. My right hon. Friend has made no proposals for additions to Part II of the 1966 Act when it is reactivated.
