HC Deb 24 January 1983 vol 35 c330W
Mr. John Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment in which essential services Her Majesty's Government, in consultation with the unions, have sought to conclude no-strike agreements.

Mr. Alison

The Government will be holding discussions on the introduction of long-term pay arrangements, which should reduce the likelihood of industrial action, with the unions, and others concerned, in the National Health Service and the Civil Service.
