HC Deb 25 February 1971 vol 812 cc214-5W
Mr. Douglas

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will place in the Library copies of the information which his Department distributes to employers in order that they may offer guidance to their employees on trade union membership.

Mr. Dudley Smith

My Department has issued no such information or guidance to employers, but the Industrial Relations Bill contains provision, in Clause 18, to require employers to issue their employees with a written statement of the rights of trade union membership which the Bill confers.
