HC Deb 28 March 1983 vol 40 c19W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister for Trade why he did not consult the trade unions about de-briefings given by the Ministry of Defence to the General Council of British Shipping after the Falklands war.

Mr. Sproat

The two de-briefings given by the Ministry of Defence to the General Council of British Shipping did not warrant prior consultation with me, or by me with the unions.
