§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Minister for the Civil Service what action he will take against civil servants who refuse to work as normal on the Trades Union Congress "Day of Action" on 14 May.
§ Mr. ChannonThe normal rules for dealing with this type of action by civil servants will apply. There will of course be "no pay for no work".
I very much hope, however, that civil servants will not take part in the "Day of Action" and that they will continue to carry out their full range of duties.
