§ 3. Sir Anthony Meyerasked the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the heads of nationalised industries and public services, with the Welsh Trades Union Congress and with employers' organisations in Wales, with a view to ensuring the continued functioning of essential public services in the event of industrial action or other emergency affecting these services.
§ Mr. John MorrisI have had no such discussions.
§ Sir A. MeyerIn view of the fate of the seven Rhyl firemen who persisted in ensuring the safety of the public in breach of a strike, what advice would the right hon. and learned Gentleman give to others who might find themselves in a similar predicament in a strike in some essential service?
§ Mr. MorrisI understand that the hon. Gentleman and, I think, others have tabled a motion about the responsibility of responsible Ministers. The responsible Minister in this context is my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary, and I am sure that the hon. Gentleman would wish to address his remarks to him.
