PM snubs workers blacklist inquiry

PRIME Minister David Cameron called blacklisting unacceptable as his Government said it had not seen evidence that would require a probe into the practice.

His comments came after allegations that members of the security forces and police were involved in drawing up lists that locked hundreds of workers out of jobs on construction sites.

Labour challenged the UK and Scottish Government to ensure blacklisting did not take place on any of their major projects. The party has warned the practice may still be taking place.
