Trade union structures vary from one country to another in the EEC. I have no plans to change the existing trade union structure in this country to harmonise with that in any other country.

asked the Minister for Labour the facilities the Government are prepared to make available to trade unions that are prepared to amalgamate.
I would refer the Deputy to my answer to a parliamentary question on 8th May, 1973, in which I indicated that I hoped to circulate a Trade Union Amalgamation Bill in the present session. The Bill will contain provisions for facilitating the amalgamation of trade unions.
