HC Deb 20 February 1975 vol 886 cc489-90W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if, in the pursuit of his policies for industrial democracy, he will make it the practice within the nationalised industries and Government-owned companies for which he is responsible that the relevant trade unions should have access to the information required to monitor progress towards the financial, technical and social objectives which he has set for those industries and companies.

Mr. Heffer

The nature and purpose of the information to be made available to trade unions will be a major consideration for the Government in formulating their proposals for an extension of industrial democracy.
