HC Deb 09 December 1980 vol 995 c330W
29. Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he plans to meet the new chairman of the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service to discuss codes of industrial practice; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mayhew

Mr. Lowry's appointment does not take effect till 2 February 1981. My right hon. Friend expects to be in frequent contact with him when he assumes office. I am sure that discussions will cover, amongst other topics, the various codes of practice on industrial relations and employment matters issued both by myself and by ACAS.
