HC Deb 18 March 1986 vol 94 c171W
25. Mr. Litherland

asked the Paymaster General if he will make a statement on the operation of industrial relations legislation passed since 1979.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Our industrial relations legislation has given members a greater say in the affairs of their own union, provided a fairer balance of power between unions and employers and contributed to the general improvement in industrial relations in British industry.
