HC Deb 23 June 1992 vol 210 cc109-10W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he consulted trade unions before deciding to eliminate NEDO and NEDC.

Mr. Portillo

No, but of course the normal courtesies were observed by informing the General Secretary of the TUC and the Director General of the CBI of my decision.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when NEDO or NEDC were last involved in pay bargaining.

Mr. Portillo

NEDC and NEDO have never been directly involved in pay bargaining. Pay issues have been discussed regularly in the NEDC throughout its history.
