HC Deb 20 November 1981 vol 13 c240W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Prime Minister if the statement in the The Times of 17 November by the Secretary of State for Transport in a signed article that the idea of an understanding or contract between the political leaders of the trade union movement and the Government of the day was no longer credible represents Government policy on relations between the Government and trade unions.

The Prime Minister

The Government's views on incomes policies are well known. In a wider context the Government, of course, value exchanges of views with the trade unions on economic and social matters.
