Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list for the other EEC countries categories of their Government employees who (a) have a no-strike agreement with their respective Government and how such agreements are enforceable and (b) categories of Government employees, including police, armed services and security services, who are subject to controls or restrictions on their membership of trades unions; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

Information in the detailed form requested is not available. However, a number of EEC countries place restrictions on the freedom to join trade unions, on certain Government employees, including members of the police and armed services. Similarly, in a number of EEC countries there are restrictions, either as a result of legal prohibition or as a result of collective agreement, on the freedom of some or all Government employees to take industrial action.
