§ Mr. Wardasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether the recent pay settlement between members of the National Union of Journalists and the publishing firm of Edward Arnold Ltd. allowing pay rises of some £450 per employee per annum is outside the pay code.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerI understand that the settlement includes payments arising from a long established profit sharing scheme. The pay guidelines allow556W schemes of this type, which were in operation before 11th July 1975, to continue.
