HC Deb 26 April 1983 vol 41 c288W
Mr. Philip Holland

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list by each Department of State and in respect of any bodies for which Ministers are directly responsible (a) the number of industrial employees engaged on trade union activities (i) full-time and (ii) more than 50 per cent. but less than 100 per cent., and (b) the cost (i) in salaries, wages and direct benefit, and (ii) in salaries, direct benefits and overheads; and if he will express the cost as a percentage of each Department's total salaries and wages.

Mr. Hayhoe

I regret that this information is not held centrally and could be obtained only at a disproportionate cost.
