§ The Prime MinisterI am making plans for a series of visits to all parts of the country and I visited my hon. Friend's constituency last Friday.
§ Mr. DunnIs the Prime Minister aware that the people of Hartley are fully behind the Government's plans to reform the National Union of Students and that they are interested in knowing his views on the role of trade unions in our modern political society?
§ The Prime MinisterTrade unions do have an important and mature role in our society. Their role ought to be to look after the interests of their members—not to align themselves particularly with a political party, not to throw votes behind the leadership of that party, not to provide the finance for that party, and not to sponsor every Front-Bench Member of the Opposition.
