Abstract
This article deals with an important English case that highlights a problem, relevant today in Australia also around the issue of non-statutory executive powers, that permits the executive to ignore natural justice requirements on the pretext of national security. In this case, the Prime Minister of England, Baroness Thatcher, used reasons associated with national security as a basis for excluding union representation for GCHQ staff. This case is but one case that raises questions associated with the proper use of non-statutory executive powers (also known as the 'prerogative powers').
