HC Deb 06 November 1979 vol 973 cc118-9W
29. Mr. Philip Holland

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what consideration has been given to replacing the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service with the former system operated by departmental conciliation officers.

Mr. Mayhew

My right hon. Friend has considered the future of the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service along with the other non-Departmental public bodies for which he is responsible but has no plans for a change of the kind suggested.
