Mr. Botherton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will include representatives of the Post Office Users' Council and consumer organisations in his discussions on changes in the Post Office and Telegraph Acts.

Mr. Les Huckfield

It is not known to what changes the hon. Gentleman refers.

Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Industry when he intends to bring in legislation to amend the Post Office and Telegraph Acts with a view to allowing Post Office employees to be engaged in disputes which affect the transference of mail and telecommunications.

Mr. Les Huckfield

The matter is under consideration, but my right hon. Friend is not yet in a position to make a statement.
