HC Deb 24 March 1981 vol 1 c297W
37. Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will bring forward legislation to extend the scope of consultative machinery under health and safety legislation into other areas.

Mr. Waddington

No. As my right hon. Friend has made clear on a number of occasions, we do not believe that legislation in the general area of employee involvement is appropriate. Arrangements for the provision of information and for consultation are the responsibility of management who should develop systems best suited to their own circumstances.
