HC Deb 17 February 1976 vol 905 c647W
45. Mr. Corbett

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will now announce a firm date for the introduction of the section of the Employment Protection Act dealing with part time workers.

Mr. Booth

I regret that I shall not be in a position to announce a firm date until I am satisfied that the industrial tribunals can handle the additional case load. But we are aiming to introduce the provisions of the Act dealing with part-time workers during the second half of 1976.
