HC Deb 08 December 1976 vol 922 cc268-9W
Mr. Tim Renton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects the Lord Committee to report on worker participation in the public sector; and whether he will publish the committee's report.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The studies of industrial democracy in the public services and the nationalised industries will be completed shortly so that the Government can take an overall view of the private and public sectors when Lord Bullock's committee of inquiry into industrial democracy in the private sector reports. We shall announce our conclusions on the public sector when we reply to the report from Lord Bullock's committee.
