§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many copies of his consultative document on industrial relations have been made available for the public in the North-West; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithThe initial distribution to employment exchanges in the North-West Region was 4,000. A further 4,000 copies have been sent to the regional offices as a reserve supply.
