HC Deb 07 December 1978 vol 959 c758W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in his consideration of sanctions against the TUC and the Labour Party for breaches of the 5 per cent. wages policy, he will consider refusing to appoint persons from those organisations to quasi-autonomous nongovernmental organisations or to other public appointments.

Mr. Joel Barnett:

Such a consideration is not relevant to making these appointments.
