HC Deb 24 April 1980 vol 983 c237W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will withdraw the loan under section 7 to the Industry Act 1972 to Lucas Aerospace, in view of the summary sacking of the Confederation of Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions' committee co-ordinator.

Mr. Michael Marshall

If the company had taken the action described, it would be a matter to be settled between management and work force within the existing legal framework.
