HC Deb 03 February 1949 vol 460 cc261-2W
66. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether he will give the percentage of members of trade unions affiliated to the T.U.C. and operating a political levy who contributed to the political levy in 1948 with comparable figures for 1946.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

No official figures for unions affiliated to the T.U.C. are available. The percentage of members of all trade unions having political funds who were liable to contribute to those funds rose from 45 at the end of 1945 to 91 at the end of 1947, the latest figure available.
