§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Employment how his policy of wage restraint will apply to part-time employment in general and part-time members of Government boards, in particular.
§ Mr. BoothThe £6 a week pay limit will apply to all part-time employees on a pro rata basis. This includes all members of Government boards except those working less than one full day a week who may not receive any increase in remuneration.
§ Mr. Biffenasked the Secretary of State for Employment by what statutory authority he will be informed of the wage and salary structures of companies to which the Government award contracts.
§ Mr. BoothParagraph 28 of the White Paper (Cmnd. 6151) sets out the need for accurate information on pay settlements and intended settlements. The availability of such information, the arrangements for the collection of which the TUC intends to discuss with the CBI, would obviate the need for any statutory authority of the kind to which the hon. Member refers.
