Placing a statutory duty on ACAS, as Parliament has done, to promote the improvement of industrial relations, raises not only the issue of what constitutes improvement but also the issue of what constitutes industrial relations. Although indications of the content of industrial relations are given under section 4(1) of the EPA, eg collective bargaining and negotiation machinery, the parameters of industrial relations have not been defined by statute. This could reflect uncertainty on the part of the legislators as to where the parameters of the subject lie, but whatever the reason for the absence of a definition, such absence does allow, intentionally or otherwise, varying interpretations of the term to be made and thereby assists ACAS to cope with the inherent dynamism of industrial relations
