THE QUESTION of the right to picket vehicos was under careful consider,tion by the Government, and, it was hoped, would be raise' in an employment protection bill to be introduced later, said Mr Albert Booth, Minister of State for Employment last week.

He was speaking in the Commons after the publication of the Trade Union and Labour Relations Bill which did not — as was at one time expected — include the right to picket vehicles during a strike.

The basic right to seek to persuade somebody to desist from breaking or harming a dispute would be fully practised in modern terms only if it included the right to communicate with the driver of a vehicle seeking to enter the premises where a dispute was taking place, said Mr Booth.
