HC Deb 30 April 1970 vol 800 c374W
Mr. Dickens

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what discussions she has had with the Medical Research Council about the Council's policy to trades unionism amongst its staff.

Mr. Harold Walker:

Officials of my Department had discussions about recognition with the Medical Research Council and Association of Scientific, Technical and Managerial Staffs during 1969. Following a request from A.S.T.M.S. a reference to the Commission on Industrial Relations was made in December, 1969. My right hon. Friend expects to receive the Commission's Report shortly.
