Industry Bill

HC Deb 20 October 1975 vol 898 c55W

22. Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what representations he has had from people working in industry on the Industry Bill.

Mr. Kaufman

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State informed the House on 14th July, representations have been made by the TUC and CBI at meetings with the Prime Minister and my right hon. Friend. In addition, we have received representations from a number of City institutions and other bodies and from individuals on both sides of industry. Since publication of the discussion document on the "Contents of a Planning Agreement" on 7th August over 19,000 copies have been distributed by my Department, on which we are continuing to receive comments.
