HC Deb 09 May 1985 vol 78 c486W
Mr. Batiste

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will amend the Trade Union Act 1984 so as to make all members of the principal executive committees of trade unions subject to the periodic balloting provisions of part I of the Act.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The provisions of the Trade Union Act 1984 concerning union elections come into force on 1 October. It would be premature to consider further amending legislation which has not yet taken effect.
