§ 36. Mr. Remnantasked the Minister of Labour how many reports of victimisation arising from the British Motor Corporation strike settlement he has received from employers and unions, respectively; and what action he proposes to take.
§ The Minister of Labour and National Service (Mr. Iain Macleod)My Department was informed of only one case in which difficulty occurred. My intervention was not requested, and no action on my part was called for.
§ Mr. RemnantDoes my right hon. Friend mean by that answer that the considerable number of cases reported in the Press were either incorrect or have been put right since?
§ Mr. MacleodNo, Sir; there were certain Press reports of disciplinary action taken by unions against individual members, but the Answer which I have given is a factual one in accordance with the Question. If one takes into account the size and bitterness of this dispute, I think it is remarkable how peaceful the aftermath of it has been.
