HC Deb 26 November 1974 vol 882 c114W
Q16. Mr. Hurd

asked the Prime Minister whether he will assume direct responsibility for the operation of the new Conciliation and Arbitration Service.

The Prime Minister

No. The Conciliation and Arbitration Service has been set up as an independent body with the full co-operation of the TUC and CBL and its independence of Government is crucial to its success.
