Proceeding contribution from Lord Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Industrial Action: Lindsey Oil Refinery.


Industrial Action: Lindsey Oil Refinery

My Lords, I declare that I am a member of Unite. I completely agree with my noble friend that we must all be temperate in what we say, particularly as negotiations continue. However, I understood him to say that one of the contentious points was that British workers were not allowed to apply for any of these jobs but that he has now received assurances that in future both subcontractors and British workers will be given that opportunity.
