HC Deb 15 April 1981 vol 3 c145W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if she will list the places in Cumbria where industrial action has been taken by the Civil Service unions during the present dispute.

Mr. Hayhoe

I understand that to date industrial action has been taken by civil servants at Workington, Carlisle and Barrow, where rallies and protest meetings have been held.

Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if she will propose to the Civil Service trade unions a pay increase of 10 per cent. for civil servants earning less than national average earnings and a pay increase of 4 per cent. for civil servants earning more than national average earnings, or any other combination of percentage wage increases which would average 7 per cent. for the whole Civil Service and ensure that lower paid civil servants received higher percentage increases than higher paid civil servants.

Mr. Hayhoe

I have nothing to add to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on 13 April 1981—[Vol. 3,c. 70.]
