HC Deb 25 February 1977 vol 926 cc720-1W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how he expects the Bullock Report on Industrial Democracy to be implemented in the Prison Service, the police force and other services for which he has responsibility; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The Bullock Committee's proposals relate to the development of industrial democracy in private sector companies. Participation by employees in the management of the public services, including those for which I have responsibility, raises different issues which, as my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade made clear on 26th January—[Vol. 924, c. 1493–96]—the Government are still considering.
