HC Deb 07 February 1990 vol 166 c655W
Mr. Skinner

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many times the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service has been used to settle industrial disputes since 1979; and if he will publish a list of all references made and the outcome in each case.

Mr. Nicholls

Information on the overall number of disputes that ACAS has helped to settle is published in the ACAS annual reports, copies of which are held in the Library. The names of individual parties to such disputes, and the outcomes, are not comprehensively listed and this information is not available.
