HC Deb 05 December 1978 vol 959 cc596-7W
70. Mr. Ioan Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will set up a Royal Commission to consider future employment prospects, in view of scientific and technological developments.

Mr. Golding:

I see no reason to take such action at present. The impact of technological changes on employment opportunities is already being investigated by a working party of the Advisory Council for Applied Research and Development under Sir James Menter, FRS, the Central Policy Review Staff and researchers in my Department and elsewhere.
