HC Deb 20 June 1989 vol 155 c109W
18. Mr. Robert G. Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has received about secondary picketing; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholls

The Government receive representations on many aspects of industrial relations. In the nine years since employers were given the freedom to restrain secondary picketing by the 1980 Employment Act representations on this subject have dwindled to nothing.
