§ Mr. Biffenasked the Minister of Labour, if he is aware that an engineering company recently provided free transport for employees; that an executive of the company estimated it was a fringe benefit worth between 15s. and 25s. weekly to each employee; and by what means the officials of his Department acquaint themselves of these developments in remunerating employees.
§ Mr. HattersleyI assume that the hon. Member refers to a recent Press report. The Ministry has not completed its inquiries about the remuneration and conditions of employment in the firm which the report names. We receive information from a variety of sources.
