HC Deb 07 July 1978 vol 953 cc310-1W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list his powers to limit the rights of trade unions to obstruct docks, airfields and other public facilities potentially indispensable to national defence, in the event of British involvement in a war.

Mr. Harold Walker

I see no point in speculating about powers which might be sought in such a hypothetical set of circumstances.
