HC Deb 25 May 1994 vol 244 c168W
Dr. Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what is the Government's policy on employee involvement in the United Kingdom.

Mr. David Hunt

We believe that, to be successful, employee involvement must be voluntary and flexible, unlike that which would be imposed by the European Commission's draft directive on European works councils. I have today published "The Competitive Edge", a new booklet which gives examples of some of the many forms of effective employee involvement practice in the United Kingdom. A copy has been placed in the Library.
