Mr. Skeet
asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will amend section 29 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974, relating to the defining of a trade dispute, to exclude disputes which are intended to be primarily political or designed mainly to coerce the Government as distinct from an employer.
Mr. Harold Walker
No. Political strikes as such are not included in matters specified by section 29 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974 which defines a trade dispute.
