HC Deb 20 May 1975 vol 892 cc372-3W
31. Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he has held any discussions with the TUC or affiliated unions on the subject of any commitments the unions might feel able to undertake with a view to securing the fulfilment of the objectives outlined in the Ryder Report on British Leyland.

Mr. Gregor Mackenzie

The Ryder team has said that it found ample evidence that British Leyland's employees at all levels want to make their contribution to solving the company's problems. My right hon. Friend has discussed the Government's proposals with representatives of the CSEU and shop stewards. They are keen to begin talks with management on the proposals for a new structure of joint committees and councils recommended in the Ryder Report.
