§ Mr. Ron BrownTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he has received recent representations from the trade union movement about the ambulance drivers' dispute; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyRepresentations have been received by the Department from trade unions on the staff side of the ambulance Whitley councils. Representations have also been received from the Association of Professional Ambulance Personnel, which claims to have within its membership over 20 per cent. of all ambulance personnel but is not represented on the staff side of the Whitley councils. No recent representations have been received from elsewhere in the trade union movement.
