It is very important indeed to ensure that the staff of G C H Q are not subject to potential conflicts of interest  and as I said earlier the Prime Minister and I listened for some considerable time  to the s to er to the points put forward by the trade unions to see whether or not that overriding er  national objective could be maintained but we were not convinced, we were not convinced that erm  the trade unions could overcome those potential conflicts of interest and it behoves ill the party opposite  to try and put a different gloss on the fact that we in this country thanks to our legislation, have put harmony in place of strife and  we are not prepared to allow the opposition to put that major achievement at risk.
