HC Deb 13 December 1977 vol 941 c175W
19. Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he proposes to take any action in relation to contracts of employment of 25 weeks offered by the British Steel Corporation in order to frustrate the working of the Employment Protection Act.

Mr. Harold Walker

No. I have no power to tell employers what terms and conditions are to be included in contracts of employment agreed between them.
