HC Deb 07 July 1978 vol 953 cc311-2W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will introduce legislation to seek to extend the protection given by the Employment Protection Act against victimisation of workers for their trade union membership or activity to people seeking work but unable to obtain it because they are victimised or blacklisted for their trade union activities.

Mr. Harold Walker

I deplore the practice of blacklisting, but I am not convinced that the best way of proceeding is to legislate against it.
