HC Deb 24 July 1978 vol 954 c609W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether any research has been undertaken concerning Great Britain's ability to respond effectively to a military threat against Great Britain or her allies in the event of a major industrial dispute involving civilian workers in defence establishments.

Dr. Gilbert

A wide range of factors is taken into account when considering our response to a military threat against Great Britain or her allies. It would not be in the national interest to divulge details.
