HC Deb 03 June 1981 vol 5 cc348-51W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing rates of pay for all classes of nurses within the National Health Service for each of the last five years, and showing the percentage increase, net, for each year.

Mr. Fairgrieve

The information is set out in the following table. In addition to the pay scales operative from 1 April each year those for 1 August 1979 are given since the first stage of the award by the Clegg Commission came into effect on that date.
