HC Deb 20 July 1979 vol 970 c841W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what would be the estimated cost to central Government of financing union ballots as proposed by the Government.

Mr. Mayhew

We are now consulting on the types of ballot and expenditure which will qualify for support from public funds. The estimated cost to public funds of financing ballots will depend on how these issues are resolved.
