HC Deb 20 May 1980 vol 985 c112W
28. Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will estimate the number of working days lost on 14 May.

Mr. Mayhew

My Department's statistics of industrial stoppages relate only to terms and conditions of work, and exclude political action such as that on 14 May. We cannot make a close estimate of numbers of people involved, but such information as is available suggests that more than 90 per cent. of the work force went to work last Wednesday.
