HC Deb 02 April 1985 vol 76 c535W
47. Mr. Penhaligon

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has to encourage employers to involve employees in the running of their companies.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The Government are firmly committed to the principle of employers informing and consulting employees about matters which affect them. We take every suitable opportunity to encourage the voluntary adoption and development of arrangements appropriate to individual companies' circumstances. The establishment of genuine employee involvement arrangements does not affect management's responsibility for making business and organisational decisions.
