HC Deb 27 July 1978 vol 954 c849W
Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for Industry pursuant to the reply to the hon. Member for Coventry, South-West, Official Report, 10th July, column 1013, how many times he has discussed the Lucas workers corporate plan with the Lucas workers.

Mr. Les Huckfield

My right hon. Friend, the Minister of State, was first advised of the Lucas Aerospace combine shop stewards committee's corporate plan when my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham, Yardley (Mr. Tierney) brought a group of Lucas Aerospace shop stewards to see him on 10th December 1975. Since that time, Ministers in the Department of Industry have discussed the corporate plan with trade union representatives of the Lucas Aerospace work force on many occasions.
