Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 4 Rhagfyr 1973.
The hon. Gentleman will remember that I said that we would vote for the Bill on Third Reading if our basic amendments were accepted. They were not, and we voted against it.
I have come to the conclusion that an industrial relations court in any event should not be a separate and special court but should be another branch of the High Court. It should be an ordinary division of the High Court, and the judges should be left to judge. They should not be regarded as, or requested to be, conciliators in industrial relations.
Therefore, for reasons very different from those of some Labour Members, I intend with my party to vote for the motion.
