HC Deb 19 June 1979 vol 968 cc479-80W
23. Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will invite Mr. Len Murray to submit, on behalf of unions affiliated to the Trades Union Congress, a list of what they consider to be politically-sensitive areas of decision in which they would invite their members to take industrial action, such as that pro- posed by the Confederation of Health Service Employees and the National Union of Public Employees over pay beds.

Mr. Mayhew

No Sir. I do not believe that the great majority of trade unionists in this country wish to undermine our democratic processes by acting in the manner to which my hon. Friend refers.
