HC Deb 11 February 1971 vol 811 c232W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment why he will not request the Wilberforce Inquiry into the electrical power workers' dispute to consider and report on the £1,500 per annum increase in the salary of the General Secretary of the Electrical Trades Union and the various increases ranging from £400 per annum to £970 per annum to be paid to the other officials of this trade union.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Because the court was an independent body it was for the court to decide what matters it wished to take into account.
