§ Mr. Batisteasked the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has to introduce further reforms of the law affecting trade unions so as to provide additional protection for ordinary trade unionists against abuses by the union's officers.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyWe are considering what further steps might be taken to carry forward our successful programme of trade union reform. Having embarked on our plan to give proper and effective rights to union members, we must ensure that these rights are fully developed, so that they provide the ordinary member with the protection that he is entitled to enjoy in a free society.
