HC Deb 29 November 1983 vol 49 c447W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will refer to the Office of Fair Trading the problems of retail and wholesale newsagents who receive no supplies for sale due to action by trade union members with whom the newsagents have no dispute.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

No. The competition legislation administered by the Director General of Fair Trading does not cover industrial relations disputes as such.
