HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 c309W
Mr. Thomas Cox

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what reduction in the manual work force, at present employed in the electricity supply industry is now proposed following the Wilberforce Report.

Mr. Ridley

This is a matter for the Electricity Council. I will ask the Chairman to write to the hon. Member when the discussions of the report now taking place in the industry's National Joint Industrial Council have been concluded.
