"Mr President, in 1984, 37 Cammell Laird shipworkers were jailed for 30 days and lost their right to a proper redundancy and pension because of striking against politically motivated job cuts. Last year in the Committee on Petitions Eddie Marnell explained that, in spite of the fact that no law was broken, the strikers were never told why. Investigations into historical miscarriages of justice, like the battle of Orgreave, have shown that, despite denials from the then government, secret closure plans existed and Conservative ministers at the time sought to influence police tactics and put pressure on them to escalate industrial disputes. Access to official documents is key to ensuring justice for those on the receiving end. These workers’ fundamental rights were violated and the Commission should press the UK Government to release the information needed to ensure that Cammell Laird workers and our coalfields get the long-awaited justice they deserve."@en1
