HC Deb 22 June 1981 vol 7 c5W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will make it his policy to suspend any Northern Ireland civil servant who fails to carry out prescribed duties during the current Civil Service pay dispute.

Mr. Alison

Northern Ireland civil servants who refuse to carry out their full range of duties are dealt with in the same way as members of the United Kingdom Civil Service. The measures taken are determined in the light of the circumstances of each individual case and may include temporary relief from duty.
