HC Deb 22 May 1990 vol 173 c156W
16. Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has any plans to remove the right of employers to secure an injunction against an unlawful strike.

Mr. Howard

Anyone threatened with unlawful action is entitled to apply to the courts for an injunction to prevent it. To restrict that right in respect of any particular group of bodies would place them above the law and could not possibly be justified.
