Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Hansard, 13 June 1979)

HC Deb 13 June 1979 vol 968 c229W 229W

§ Mr. John Grant
asked the Secretary of State for Employment what effect the 3 per cent. cut in the pay component of the 1979–80 cash limits and the freeeze on recruitment will have on the staffing of the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service; and what consequent delays will arise in handling its workload.

§ Mr. Mayhew
It is not yet possible to say what the effect of the 3 per cent. savings will be on planned staffing levels in ACAS, but it is unlikely to lead to any significant delays in dealing with cases.
