HC Deb 19 April 1977 vol 930 cc42-3W
Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether London weighting allowance is incorporated into basic pay for calculation of overtime, holiday pay, &c.; and, if so, to what number of employees this refers.

Mr. Harold Walker

There is great variety in London weighting arrangements. My Department does not have the information to enable the estimate requested to be made.

Mr. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish in the Official Report a table giving details of London weighting at 1st January 1976 in respect of (a) the numbers involved, (b) the various rates of allowance paid, (c) the total annual cost and (d) the Government contribution, for each of the organisations listed in column 1, Appendix II, pages 50 to 56 of State for the Pay Board's Advisory Report 4 on Employment if he will give details of London Weighting, Command Paper No. 5660.

Mr. Harold Walker

I regret that the information can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
