§ Mr. Cooper-Keyasked the Minister of Labour to state the membership and financial resources of all independent United Kingdom trades unions, indicating at the same time their affiliations.
§ Mr. Iain Macleod:Details of the membership and finances of registered trade unions are available from the Registry of Friendly Societies, and summaries of this information are published in the annual reports of the Chief Registrar. I cannot disclose information in my possession regarding the memberships and finances of unregistered trade unions without their 5W permission. As regards affiliations, I hope to publish shortly a revised edition of a Directory of Employers' Associations, Trade Unions and Joint Organisations in the United Kingdom, which will show which trade unions are affiliated to federations of trade unions or to the Trades Union Congress.
