HC Deb 15 February 1977 vol 926 cc200-1W
Mr. MacGregor

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what evidence he has been accumulating of the state of morale and motivation of British management, foremen and supervisors; and whether he will receive representations on those points with a view to taking into account those aspects affecting pay in his consideration of the next stage of the pay policy.

Mr. Harold Walker

I have received representations from the Confederation of British Industry, the British Institute of Management, the Institute of Personnel Management and many others about the need for restoration of incentives for managers, supervisors, and foremen, and more generally, and have noted the published results of some recent surveys relevant to this matter. All this will be taken into account along with other considerations in the Government's discussions with the TUC and others concerned about the next stage in maintaining the attack on inflation.
