§ Lord APSLEYasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what steps are taken to inform all civil servants, including industrial civil servants, that after becoming established they may no longer belong to any trade union of which they may have been a member before establishment, except under the limited conditions provided for under Section 5 (1) (b) of the Trades Disputes Act; and whether he is satisfied that no established civil servant at the present time is improperly a Member of any trade union?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAThe nature of the steps to be taken to bring to the notice of those concerned regulations relating to the conduct of civil servants is in each case a matter for the employing Department. As regards the last part of the question, I am not aware of any case where a breach of the rules in question is likely to be involved.
