« Queen’s Speech | Back to most recent briefing | Trident »
Asked for the Prime Minister’s response to possible trade union strikes in protest at the government’s spending cuts, the PMS said that we wanted there to be a genuine partnership with the trade unions, as Cabinet Minister, Francis Maude had been saying this morning. We wanted to work with the trade unions in tackling this record deficit.
Asked why the International Development Secretary was the only Minister at the TUC conference, the PMS said the Prime Minister had been invited but declined because he had expected to be on paternity leave at the time.
Asked if the Prime Minister thought that existing legislation on trade union ballots and strikes was sufficient, the PMS said yes; we had no plans to change anything.
