HC Deb 02 July 1984 vol 63 c42W
Mr. Maclean

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will now bring forward proposals to abolish the dock labour scheme; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

Whilst the operation of the dock labour scheme continues to be questioned, there are no plans to abolish it at present. We shall continue to keep a careful watch on developments.
