§ Mr. Gryllsasked the Minister for the Civil Service if he intends to proceed against civil servants who participate in the Trades Union Congress "Day of Action" for breach of contract or other civil wrongs, inasmuch as their actions will not be in furtherance of any trades dispute.
§ Mr. ChannonI have nothing to add to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Louth (Mr. Brotherton) on 15 April—[Vol. 982, c.585]—except to stress my strong hope that civil servants will not take part in any of the protests planned for 14 May.
