	SpinWatch - Secret papers reveal Falconer role in breaking up NUM
		Labour's current lord chancellor, Charles Falconer, provided vital legal advice at the height of the miners' strike 20 years ago to enable the Thatcher government and the National Coal Board to assist the breakup of the National Union of Mineworkers, according to previously secret documents released to the Guardian.
		Lord Falconer was engaged in his then role as a barrister to advise Sir Ian MacGregor, brought in to run the coal board, on how to handle miners who defied their union leader, Arthur Scargill.
		Yesterday a spokesman for Lord Falconer confirmed that he had acted for the NCB, but pointed out that at the time the coal board felt they should be able to enter collective bargaining agreements with groups who wanted to negotiate with them, particularly because a majority of the Nottinghamshire miners had effectively left the NUM.
