This is 4 o’clock. Here is the news summary. There has been a serious accident on the M6 motor way in Lancashire, in which as least 6 people have lost their lives. It happened early this morning near Preston, when a coach carrying 45 passengers collided with a heavy lorry. Rescue operations had been going on throughout the day and the section of the motor way has been closed to traffic.
Important talks had been taking place at 10 Downing Street today between the prime minister and trade union leaders. They have agreed to work together to find ways of combating inflation and reducing the present level of unemployment in British industry.
Meanwhile the government has failed to avert a national bus strike. And the bus drivers’ union has announced that no buses will run for next Monday. The decision to go ahead of the strike was announced by a union spokesman at the end of a meeting earlier this afternoon, during which government representatives failed to persuade the union and the employers to agree on a new wage plan.
