HC Deb 17 April 1975 vol 890 c159W
Mr. Mather

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what proposals he has under the Industry Bill for ensuring that scientific and engineering professional staff are represented on boards of management for companies coming under public ownership.

Mr. Meacher

The Industry Bill lays no duty on the Secretary of State in this matter. But the NEB would be free to consider it in the context of promoting industrial democracy in its subsidiaries.
