Description

Labour MP Eric Heffer opposes the call for a wage and price freeze during the lorry drivers’ strikes, calling them unpractical, and claiming should they go ahead, public opinion would be very much against it, spelling trouble for the government. He states the only way to end the troubles is to talk face to face.
