HC Deb 19 February 1970 vol 796 c164W
47. Mr. Oakes

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will take steps to prevent the employment of labour on a casual basis.

Mr. Harold Walker

Measures such as the introduction of statutory minimum notice and redundancy pay, and the projected introduction of safeguards against arbitrary dismissal do much to reduce this problem. Important recent initiatives have been taken in the docks and construction industries.
