HC Deb 22 July 1986 vol 102 cc177-8W
44. Mr. Colvin

asked the Paymaster General what discussions he has had, and with whom, about the future of the national dock labour scheme.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

I have had no discussions about the future of the national dock labour scheme. It has been made clear—most recently by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister in reply to a question from the hon. Member for Liverpool, Riverside (Mr. Parry) on 22 April at column 121—that we were not proposing to change the national dock labour scheme.
