§ Miss McIntoshTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations she has received on the strike by airport firemen in Scotland; and if she will make a statement. [82217]
§ Mrs. LiddellI have not received any representations on this issue. Industrial relations are a matter for the respective management and trade unions to resolve. I urge both sides to continue to work together constructively to reach a mutually acceptable solution which will avoid strike action. I understand that both unions are to ballot members on a revised pay offer from BAA.
