HC Deb 17 June 1986 vol 99 c486W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Paymaster General what consultations he has had with Civil Service unions about trade unions and firms approaching named civil servants in his Department on official business.

Mr. Trippier

There has to date been no consultation with Civil Service unions within my Department on this issue. Nor has there been any request from these unions for such discussions. I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. and learned Friend's previous reply on this subject during the statement on business deregulation on 22 May 1986, at column 549.
