HC Deb 13 July 1977 vol 935 c168W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Aberdare (Mr. Evans), Official Report, 7th July, column 1408, if he will specify the benefits gained by the trade union movement over the last two years.

Mr. Joel Barnett
