HC Deb 19 January 1979 vol 960 c930W
Mr. Norman Lamont

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what agreement has been made with the Transport and General Workers' Union about letting overseas surface mail through picket lines in the current industrial dispute; and whether he is satisfied with the working of such agreements.

Mr. Kaufman:

I understand that no formal agreement has been reached, but efforts are being made by both the Post Office and the Union of Post Office Workers to resolve current problems affecting non-European overseas surface mail.
