HC Deb 08 April 1976 vol 909 c249W
Mr. Michael Marshall

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what is his policy towards the establishment of a closed shop in the Civil Service.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

Formal requests for discussions about union membership arrangements have been made by the staff side of the National Whitley Council and by the trade union side of the Joint Co-ordinating Committee, and the implications of these will be considered with the unions concerned before the Government forms a view.
