European Co-operation

HC Deb 20 January 1949 vol 460 cc49-50W

59. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what statistics he founds, when he states, in paragraph 30 of Command Paper No. 7572, on European Co-operation, that wages are relatively high; and what is the basis from which this comparison is made.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The basis of comparison is with pre-war wage rates.
