Mr. Barnes

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what instructions were issued to management side negotiators for Professional and Technical "B" Committee "E" relating to the maximum increase to be offered to medical physics technicians;

(2) what instructions were issued to management side negotiators for Optical Whitley Council Committee A and B relating to the maximum increase to be offered to all grades of opticians covered by the agreement.

I do not instruct management sides: departmental representatives express views on my behalf but offers are decided by the management sides as a whole.
