§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his policy, in relation to the working of the Industrial Relations Act, towards individuals and organisations having direct access, without ministerial involvement, to the National Industrial Relations Court.
§ Mr. Chichester-ClarkThe Industrial Relations Act withholds traditional common law remedies and substitutes new grounds for civil action in order that legal proceedings relating to industrial disputes should normally be brought before a specialist court and tribunals. In keeping with the normal traditions of justice in this country, the policy of the Government, as embodied in the Act, is that the public must have access to the civil remedies available under it.
