HC Deb 27 February 1973 vol 851 c317W
53. Mr. Rost

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will conduct an inquiry comparing social security benefits available to employees who voluntarily withdraw their labour during industrial disputes in Great Britain with those available in the United States of America, Japan and the EEC countries.

Sir K. Joseph

Some information has already been obtained in regard to the United States and EEC countries and I am not satisfied that it would be worth while devoting resources to a special inquiry.
