HC Deb 17 November 1987 vol 122 c520W
84. Mr. David Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many pre-strike ballots have been held in accordance with the Trade Union Act 1984.

Mr. Nicholls

My Department is aware of some 320 pre-strike ballots apparently designed to comply with the provisions of the Trade Union Act 1984. There have been other ballots which we do not know about.
