HC Deb 25 November 1968 vol 774 cc19-20W
Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will make a statement on the results of her invitation to the Trades Union Congress, the Confederation of British Industry and the National Board for Prices and Incomes to join in a study of what the incomes policy should be after the expiry of the present legislation.

Employment Tax; and what are the latest available figures.

Mr. Hattersley

Estimates of the numbers of employees in employment in regions are analysed industrially at mid-year only. The latest estimates relate to June, 1967. Those for June, 1968, will become available early in 1969.

Mrs. Castle

The Trades Union Congress, the Confederation of British Industries and the National Board for Prices and Incomes have all accepted my invitation to join in this study.
